Hi friends,

two 98 SE computers only configured to
adquire IP adresses automatically
can interact through a network ?

both machines have the same workgroup's name.

thanks very much in advance,
Carlos.

Yes. The computers will automatically assign themselves private IP
addresses in the 169.254.x.x range after waiting for DHCP requests to
time out at startup.

To make startup faster, assign them static IP addresses in one of
these ranges:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
