Brad   I saw your post and I'd appreciate your advise and 
comments on my networking problem. 
 
1- A coax cable between my 2 computers would be about 90 feet
2- One computer has WinME and the other has Win 98
3- I have Comcast @home here in New Jersey
4- I'd like to network the 2 computers, continue to use cable and keep 2 
separate e-mail accounts
    One for my wife and the other for me
 
We're just starting the project and need help. Are wireless or telephone 
lines feasible? Would I have problems with Comcast here in New Jersey? Would I 
have to contact them? Their modem is a Toshiba, I'll appreciate any suggestions 
on brands that would fulfill what they advertise? Are the problems of 
installation too difficult for a 81 year old retired pencil pusher. I know I 
asked a lot of questions but I will appreciate any help you will give.

    desktop computer which is

    Microsoft compatible hardware list. 
     
    2)  Off or on the list i would like to share 
    expirience/assistence  of installing
         hardware (like HP scanner, CD-RW 
    etc) for W2000 pro
         and things like W2000pro and 
    networking , VMware.

      You're always welcome - some corrections / further 
      suggestions, being sent to the listserv in general interest:
       
      a/ I use the word "modem" below, it should alternatively 
      read "router" - the traffic cop that regulates the intra-network flow of 
      stuff. However, there is technology available today - cheap - that 
      can use your existing home phone lines to setup a network, as long as you 
      install the network interface cards on each pc/laptop, the modem will 
      perform the same job of getting connected to the isp & the rest of the 
      intra-network stuff is handled by the operating system. Difference in 
      costs is a couple hundred bucks.
       
      b/ Home networking stuff can be found here - I don't 
      recommend anything specific since everyone's needs vary - suffice it to 
      say that every product below has been used by me at some point in the past 
      few years. Assuming everyone will migrate to broadband (cable/dsl) sooner 
      or later, the better thing to do is to bypass the router and work with 
      solutions that use existing hardware & wiring setups for the network - 
      or go wireless to keep portability intact.
