I have 1 win95, 3 Win98, 1 Win2k boxen all connected to an 8-port switch
(Linksys) which is connected to a Linksys router then connected to a
cable modem.  The only way I've been able to have all machines see each
other is with NetBEUI.  I keep hearing that it can be done without it,
but I've never been successful.

Of course the router keeps the outside world from seeing the individual
units, but that doesn't mater to me. Good luck.

-Hugh
