Puter not found yet found

EyesOnly

This has perhaps been asked before but i'm to lazy to search for it. Well a few days ago i posted i picture in the folding challenges thread showing 2 clients folding. That was while i was using my router. Now when my router is removed i can't find the other client with fah nor network neibourhood, yet i can use Realvnc without trouble just as before. :banghead:

Why can't i find the other computer in anything other than vnc when i had no trouble with it before. The computer is connected to the marvell network controller on my mobo. It can find the internet. i tested that.

Is this because that rig is running win98 with fat32 when this rig is running win xp with ntfs. If so why could i find it before and not now.

Oh and one non related question. The rig is running the graphical fahclient. I set it to no prefs at the start and it got and are working on a 235 point wu. I now set it on gah but must i use that or could it finnish fah wus in time. It's not runnning any processes other than fah and realvnc?

How is the other computer connected to the internet, you said you removed the router?

Ok it's running but i don't know what happened. I can't find it at all from this rig which started after i edited some network settings though i don't know what could have caused this as i don't recall what i changed more than something about a mask. i'll let it run tonight and check this tomorrow afternoon when i get back from work.
