If you are networking only 2 PCs together, you could use an unused EtherNet
port on each PC and connect them together using a "crossover" EtherNet cable. You might have to add a network card in each PC to do this if there is no spare port. Crossover cables are relatively cheap. Search the web for information on how to do this. "ray hartman" wrote in message newsan.2003.11.29.04.39.45.865896@SPAMBEGONEqwes t.net...

If you have network cards in both computers that is the best way to do it
get a crossover cable and run the home networking wizard you should be all set it is pretty simple with the wizards it will even create a floppy for computer#2 to talk to #1 Wayne "William" wrote in message ...

They've been around for ages and their drivers are thoroughly developed. |

You don't need any more hardware or cabling, your physical network is
already complete. You only need to configure Win98SE and WinXP to enable file sharing. Don't use the NetBUI protocol, TCP/IP is all you will need and it will already be installed. Use your preferred internet search engine and search for info on how to set up a peer to peer network using Windows 98 and Windows XP. "William" wrote in message ...
