Cant get my Laptop working together with my PC on a Crosslink connection.

Hope someone can help me out the support service has as last resort reinstall both PC and Laptop but I only wanna do that as a last resort. also i doubt if it helps

on my laptop i have the following settings:

Armada M700-400mhz-W95-3Com(3C589D combo PCMCIA )
Im using TCP/IP ( 3Com 3c589d )192.168.0.2 and adapter ( 3Com 3c589d )
bindings (TCP/IP ) 3Com 3c589d with microsoft client setting and sharing printer and files.

On my PC : P2-350mhz-W98 -adapter Realtech RTL8029PCI ethernetPCI. bindings ( TCP /IP RTL8029PCI )ethernetPCI ) with microsoft client setting and sharing printere and files.

Settings:TCP/IP->Realtech RTL8029 PCI

Heres my problem i can see my PC on global network and the shared C disk but i cant see the laptop. Also i cant ping the laptop.

On Laptop i cant even see itself on its globalnetwork ? with all different settings i keep getting cant search network?

I already reinstalled PCMCIA and communication conections on W95/98 but still the same ?

I pinged ( 127.0.0.1 - 127.0.0.2), both PC and Laptop for their Network card instalation and they were ok

I checked cable if it was proper Crosslink and it is.

Im lost can someone help me out?

Hi just talked to my wife she is a tech, she suggested that you get the one system you have 95 on and upgrade to 98. Your dchp is to old and upgrades for 95 are obselete and no virus programs available. If you do get it going the 95 will be very unstable, hope this helps a bit.

thx somehow my PC got unstable already only with the network card installed ?

have any ideas on this ?

Could be a hardware conflict between the card and something else in the comp - maybe sound or video card?

Hello A.W. strange meeting here :)

GHost i have manulaay put on W98 on the Laptop and i see the whole network.

Only because of the Recovery CD on the Laptop is 95 now i miss the drivers off it Any suggestions on this part also the screen is not fullsize and the colours only go to 16 so i cant check Lan option on Df2

How do i get a LAN game going Anyway ?

thx for former reactions
