Both boxes have Athlon 1600+ CPUs. I can't remember disk sizes for more
than a year, but they're between 20G and 80G. The router is D-Link
DI604, connecting the computers to a Speedstream 5360 for DSL. They can
ping each other, so I'm sure the failure to communicate is entirely due
to my ignorance about networking software. I was never able to make it
work with Windows, either. I also have an old Ambra 486 mini-laptop that
is still using Windows 6.0 which I might want to connect after I get the
two big ones talking, but that's a low priority.
