| 144822 | 2003-05-16 10:47:00 | I have just bought a new PC and want to network with my old one, one has XP Home and the other has 98SE. I wish to share programs, files, printer etc. Is this possible with out installing XP on the old machine? | Ferit (3812) | ||
| 144823 | 2003-05-16 12:58:00 | Yes, you need cross over cable and a network card for each computer. Or you could use USB. | BootyLicious (526) | ||
| 144824 | 2003-05-16 13:41:00 | The forum has a FAQ on networking. Link top right of this page. :-) | Susan B (19) | ||
| 144825 | 2003-05-16 22:26:00 | Yep It's fairly easy to do There is a wizard in XP that will assist you with it. Have you considere buying a network switch or hub and Cat 5 cable to link the 2 systems rather than a direct cable connection? |
