Need some help with this
I am on a Novell network using Win98 with two NIC's, Also I have a Win95 that I want to connect to Win98 via Crossover. The problem is I cant see the Win95 from Win98 or vice versa. i have both TCP/IP and NETBUI installed on both machines and YES the Crossover cable is Good
Is there anything I am doing wrong
Appreciate the help

This is a little out of my league, but don't you need client for netware networks and IPX/SPX installed?

Not getting a clear picture of your network:

You have a Win95 and a Win98 computer, PLUS a Novell server in the mix? If true, make sure you have Client for Microsoft loaded, plus File and Print Sharing services for Microsoft Networks installed on the 9X boxes. You can leave IPX as the protocol for those, although NetBEUI is more secure if behind a NAT router.
