How do you go about adding a Windows 2000 laptop to a home network in
which the shared computer is running Windows 98.

The Windows 2000 laptop is my work computer and (when at work) must
connect to a Novell network also.

I was able to add my wife's Windows ME laptop with no problem. It,
however, is NOT configured to connect to any other network.

I just want to share the printers connected to the Windows 98 machine.

Thanks to all.
