| 75224 | 2002-08-31 04:58:00 | I wish to network 2 PCs using serial ports. Does anyone know of any shareware I can use? The operating systems are Win98SE and WinNT4. | anthony851 (1663) | ||
| 75225 | 2002-08-31 05:04:00 | Hey anthony851, Don't know if this'll answer your question totally, but it might be a good place to start. Check out this (pressf1.co.nz) thread. It's from our FAQ section (which you'll find at the top of the page under the banner ad). Cheers Kerry Dodds Online Campaign Director IDG Network of Sites |

| 75227 | 2002-08-31 06:09:00 | I have a sort of answer as well as a question. You can use winvnc (its free and widely used) www.uk.research.att.com to provide a "remote desktop" arrangement - you run a client at one end and it lets you control the PC remotely i.e. its more powerful than just file sharing - but I haven't tried it out yet. Its sort of like PC anywhere but free. I am intending to network a WinXP PC and Win98 PC but don't really know what I'm doing so I'm going to try WinXP network wizard to set it all up (it creates a floppy disk in the XP PC that you take to the other PC), but I am wondering if I then won't be able to run WinVNC as well.
