The 1st approach works fine on my desktop machine, but I have a problem
with the laptop for the virtual adapter, W98 shows a driver for
netbeui but not for IP.  It's config'd for samba also, so I am able to
xfer files via samba between filesystems, but I stumped as to why it
refuses to fxn with IP.  Haven't taken too much time to research via the
news or the VMWare beyond about 1/2 hr. though.
