That's not completely true, Justin. I have a ME PC and a XP PC. What I've done to make it work is set-up home networking in the XP-PC like normal. Then I popped in the WINXP PRO cd in my Millenium Edition PC and chose to set-up HOME NETWORKING from the menu that popped up. After a restart I could access the internet at the ME PC via the XP PC and also communicate with eachother from the NETWORK NEIGHBOURHOOD. ------------------ ------------------------- If the DUDE doesn't like it, it's not worth buying! ------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundsol Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 re: networking windows xp and windows 98 I an an audio lover that finds jobs for tranducer engineers as a career. MY AUDIO KNOWLEDGE FAR EXCEEDS MY COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE> I have one computer with windows xp professional and had another with windows 98. I have cable internet access. I networked the two using a dlink ethernet broadband router. One cable from one computer in one slot in the router, the other cable from the other computer in another slot of the router. Both computers were turned off at the time. When I turned on both computers, the one which had wondows xp recognized new hardware and installed it. I then went to the network wizard and choose the window xp computer as the primary computer to go online with. It went through various steps and had me insert a floppy which it loaded settings on. It then instructed me to insert the floppy into the other computer and I loaded it there. At some point it told me it was done and would I like to restart both computers so the installation would be complete. I said yes and the xp one restarted and viola ! the network was up and operating. Later on I added file sharing and printer sharing. Its probably a good idea to make the sharing password protected since there are HUGE security holes for trojans when you share files and printers. Anyway I'm just semi literate and it worked for me. Later on the Windows 98 computer fried itself to death when a heating fan failed and I bought an athlon preloaded with xp. I did the same procedure and networked them both quickly. My guess is I was just lucky because not being a computer pro, I have to be methodical and read carefully the instructions for each step or maybe Ijust was lucky enough to buy the correct router or something. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
