Apparently you did something wrong (or followed the wrong guide). If you use Netbios or TCP/IP Novell netware shouldn't come up at all. The best thing to do on Windows 98: go to Control Panel>Network and delete everything you added, returning to the old situation. The old situation, might include some logon settings, and TCP/IP for your Internet-connection (dial-up or cable/adsl and nic). It's safe to reinstall the software for your NIC again afterwards.
If things are working again without error messages, make a new post asking for (better) instructions for the network configuration.
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to connect my computer with Win XP to one with Win 98SE. I've followed the guide on Home Net Help but think I've goofed because when I believe it should be up and running, I get an "Insert Disk" message on the Win 98 machine, asking for the disc labeled Novell Network Dos drive disk [which I don't have]. I must've done something wrong and hope someone can help me out of this!
