Okay.

I have two quite similar computers, both Pentium 2s, 128 Meg RAM.  One has
Windows 2000 and is meant to be a server of sorts.  The other has Windows
98 and is meant to be a slave/client.

The win2k machine has a 3Com LAN card installed.  This is connected by 2
feet of cable to the win98 machine's intel LAN card.  The drivers for the
cards are setup correctly.

On Win2k, I have a LAN icon with a red cross, which means that it is not
working.  I mouse over it and it says 'Local Area Connection Network cable
unplugged'.  The machine has Client for Microsoft networks, and TCP/IP
installed and checked.

On my Win98 machine, I have Client for Microsoft Networks and TCP/IP
installed.  

On the Win98 machine, when I open Network Neighbourhood and double-click
'entire network', it gives me:

Unable to browse the network.  The network is not accessible.  For more
information, look in help.

On my Win2k machine, My Network places simply has nothing in it.

On both machines, they are configured to be in workgroup called
'WORKGROUP', no domain.  They have separate names.

The cable certainly is plugged in.  It's possible that the cable is
faulty, but I doubt it since it's worked in the past.

Any ideas?
