Harry,

Two PCs and 1 HP printer with Ethernet card.

eCS (2.0 beta1) and WIN2K. (I can worry about the Windows connection later.)

Ethernet card to 4-port Linksys router to "cable Modem."

Just whatever the Linksys router affords.

Peer-to-peer, 100 Mbs Ethernet.

If there is an advantage to me I might install software firewalls, but
not until I get everything else going.

I have Norman Antivirus running on each machine.

I have a successful LAN giving Internet and printer access to both
computers, I just want to get them to talk to each other. I don't
understand what, if any, changes I must make in TCP/IP configuration
(via TCPCFG2.EXE), and how to get file and print sharing onto the
computers that I did not fully install at installation.
