| 284327 | 2004-10-24 23:49:00 | Plus I only have one modem and the other computer is situated in a place with no phone jack. | Mada (248) | ||
| 284328 | 2004-10-24 23:51:00 | Does this mean I can access the internet from the other computer (it has no modem, because it is in a room with no phone jack and until now, networking both my computers was not an option)? | Mada (248) | ||

| 284333 | 2004-10-25 19:46:00 | Thank you very much everyone for all of your help. I hope to have a working network set up soon. Just two more things: I suppose that setting up a network with Win XP Pro is a no-brainer? And also, what happens when you network a Win 98 SE computer with a Win XP Pro computer? Food for thought. |

| 284334 | 2004-10-25 20:05:00 | Come back here when you get the hardware sorted and tell us what you are going to use. Dont use the wizzards, as a manual setup is easy and just as fast. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 284335 | 2004-10-25 20:16:00 | And also, what happens when you network a Win 98 SE computer with a Win XP Pro computer? Nothing happens it works if u configure it properly . 98 can read ntfs on a network, (if thats what you were asking / worried about) . If u formatted in NTFS and vice-versa . Its when u format in NTFS and have XP and 98 on the same hdd that u have probs with 98 . |
