| 114763 | 2003-01-17 23:11:00 | I have just bought a brand new pentium 4 computer with Windows XP (SP1) installed :) I also have two old windows 95 machines, and I wish to network them together. I have all the cables installed and connected to a switch, and I have an advanced knowledge of networking Windows 95 & 98 machines. But because I am a newbie to Windows XP, I don't know how to network them together. I tried using Windows XP networking Wizard, and then tried to run the install program on the Windows 95 machines, but it says that it doesn't support Windows 95. How can I get around this problem? |

| 114766 | 2003-01-18 07:05:00 | If you have run the Win XP networking wizard on the XP machine it would have set that one up so just go into the other two machines' Network properties and configure them, if they need it. If you need to reconfigure the XP settings just open Win Explorer, click on My Network places > View Network Settings and configure the adaptors in there. It's not a lot different from the other versions of Windows and you have a big head start if you have an advanced knowledge of networking. |
