I have the same issue, except I have a crossover cable. I
have read several articles about doing this (but nothing
specific), but I have never got it to work.
My first job is to move files from my Win98 desktop to my
Win2000 laptop. Then my Win98 machine leaves with my
daughter who will return my Win95 desktop with which I
will set up a wireless network.
So I need to understand all the steps from the beginning.
If there are articles or sites where this explained in
detail that would be excellent.
Thanks in advance.
