Now I'm following ya, xplant. The networking setup actually went pretty smooth on both machines, except for the internet part.

Your theory sounds possible, Denis...I know on the 98SE machine I had to put in the CD and install something, but I didn't see "what". It's gotta be a simply little hangup like that, as everything else is working, the laptop has an excellent signal, but no internet...
