Win98 Networking

Hi Nato,

I'm thinking about linking my laptop that runs xp and my
old unit that runs 98 together for strong reasons and was
just wondering if you had any probs setting it up and
what way did you link them? I was thinking about
upgrading the 98 pc to xp but now I have read your
message I'm having seccond thoughts!

You said one win98 and one winXP work fine. Are you able
to see winXP share folder on network neighborhood from
win98?
