Hi Noel,

control panel -> network gives me a list of installed components (my
ethernetcard, my isdn-card).
What must I do in order to solve my problem?

Network Properties | Configuration

The following should be showing
Client for MS Networks
<your ethernet card>
TCP/IP
File and Printer sharing for MS networks

Nothing else should be required.

TCP/IP Properties:_
Obtain IP address automatically should be the default, unless you need to
set it for the router - check the 'Detect connection...'

Click on the Identification tab
Make sure that the Computer name is less than 12 letters, with no spaces,
and unique to that computer
The Workgroup Name must be IDENTICAL to that on the other machine(s) on the
network
(the description can be anything you like)
Click on the Access tab
allow Share-level access control for the moment.(until you're all set, then
you can get complex if you want)

Make sure that the other PC is also using TCP/IP as the protocol, and has
similar entries.

If you have more problems - look here

How do I detect connection? There is a router between our computers, and
I know some IP adresses must maybe be set.
Can you help?

I'll leave this to Carey - he's one of the experts on networking
