47547	2002-05-07 06:28:00	Hi is it possible to make a network using the internet. My friend an I want to make one because where making a site and need to share files. Is it possible to use My Network Places or another program? Would i have to get a Permanent IP? Please post anything on how to do it. Im using WinMe and my friend has Win98. We both use a 56k modem.

There is a heap of FTP servers on tucows.co.nz Have a look there.	Guest (0)

ICQ file transfer could be another option. Also what about putting the files you are sharing on somewhere else again, like your isps homepage server? Just create a folder that is not directly linked to!	Guest (0)
