Hi,
Can run "IPCONFIG /all > setup.txt" from the current line on the WIN2K machine and email it to me, this will give a better idea how it is setup.

Also run WINIPCFG on the WIN98 Machine & include these details in the email as well.

>There is my machine using Win2K and there is another W98 machine, this is the internal network. Right now they are connected to each other through a small hub. Both the LAN cards have been configured to "Obtain an IP address automatically". This situation was all well, we could share each others files I could VNC to the other machine (never the other way round for VNC).

Now I have obtained an ADSL connection over the phone line, so it's modem has a connecter going into the second LAN card on my machine (I already had the LAN card installed a long time back for a cable ISP which stopped providing) also having "Obtain an IP address automatically".

>As soon as they installed PPP on Ethernet Protocol on my machine something conked off, I could no longer access shared files but the other computer could access my shares, interestingly I still could VNC to the other computer. In this situation when I connected to the ADSL at times I used to get IP conflict messages which used to go away the second time round.

Though now the IP conflict messages are gone I am not too sure if the VNC problem has to do with IP addresses, I have confirmed that VNC server is running on the other computer.
