Please see my reply to the second previous question from "George". Windows
XP Network Wizard says you can but you have to run a Network Setup Disk on
the Windows 98 machine, which it offers to make for you if you have a CD
writer on your WindowsXP machine. If you have a Windows XP disk that should
work. I dont. Let us know if you have any luck.
Larry,
It sounds as though you are attempting to connect
these two computers using network cards. If this is the
case you do not need to use the incoming connection
wizard.
The incoming connection wizard is for Parallel or serial
cable connections and will not assist you with basic
networking connectivity. If you have a incoming
connection icon in your folder and do not intend to have
a parallel or serial cable connection, please delete the
icon.
To troubleshoot networking connectivity start with basic
TCPIP troubleshooting:
Discover the ipaddresses by typing ipconfig at the
command prompt.
Use ping <ipaddress> to see if the machines can reach
eachother. If they cannot check your hub or cross over
cables. Once you can ping both machines you should be
able to run the Network setup disk.
Hope this helps.
