Default Static IP

Hey guys, i was wondering if you all can help me out with a huge favor.

Im currently having some major problems with, yes, laugh, my home network. I have a laptop comptuer running XP Home connected to a Linksys router (the wired kind, not wireless), and I have my router on static IP.

I'm trying to connect my desktop running 98SE now, and I specified the DNS servers, and I have specified an IP for the computer (192.168.1.102) within the network. I also setup the installed gateway as 192.168.1.1, which is the router's address.

I have the required protocols installed on the desktop, and I specified the host as the computer's name (Mom's computer. It seems that DNS requires a Host name for Win98SE). Its also odd, that I can see my mom's computer from my laptop, yet cannot access it, but I cannot see the laptop on the desktop(Network Neighborhood).

I was wondering if someone knew more about this, and could kindly help me out.

Thanks a bunch.
