My Win98 PC connects fine to my NT Domain server based Network. But there is another Network here that I would like to have access to. It is a simple Netbeui network. Neither Networks require static IPs. I have one NIC, so I will need a hub, right? I have a small Linksys switch that I tried using, but I can't get on the Netbeui workgroup, and no Link light lights up (yes, all protocols are installed). But if I plug-in directly to my computer's NIC, each Network functions fine. But I want them both at once! If you could please advise what I can try, I'd be much appreciative!

Try changing ports. okay and power cycle the switch by powering on and off the switch.
Are you using a known working cable? make sure.

I have tried power cycling everything and testing the cable & port (both are good), but still can't connect through the switch. But if I unplug my first Network's cable and start the PC with the New Network's cable, I am on it fine, but that does me no good since I need to be on the first Network. Do I need a second NIC for the second Network?
