On the other end was a Celeron 667 with WinME. You didn't mention any error messages so I assume there were none. The error messages I got were very helpfull and pointed me in the right direction. I assume if the computers connected OK that both have the necessary protocols: IPX/SPX & NetBEUI The other necessary thing is to set the file sharing. Ctrl panel > network > File & Print sharing. Other than that, I found the WinME network trouble shooting very good, so Win98 help may be good help too. I think I noticed once that if you make the compuer with the fastest processor the guest, and do the transfering of files from there it was faster; but that may have been just a oncer. Good luck!
