First thank you very much for trying to help out.

Although I am going to talk about DCC the issue is actually very much
simpler per below.
I am trying to use Direct-Cable-Connection (DCC) which I have successfully
done before using other computers.  I seem to be getting stuck at a very
simple point on my Gateway computer which is:
Right click on "Network Neighborhood" and then left click on "properties"
and then I left click on "Add" and highlight "Service" and then left click
on "Add" to be able to Add "File and Print Sharing".  However when I click
on the last "Add" instead of a number of choices coming up and being able to
choose "File and Print Sharing" nothing at all happens.  I click on "Add"
and I don't get any choices.  So....I can't choose to add the service that I
need (File and Print Sharing) and can't proceed any further with setting up
DCC.  Both computers are running Win98
SE and this is not a problem with the other computer.  Please don't tell me
to reinstall Win98SE I feel that this is due to some registry setting or
some overall system setting.  I really appreciate any help you  help you can
provide.
Take care...........Zel
