home networking xp 3.5 floppy drive

[Guest]

I want to set up a home network with 3 computers. The computer that will
dial up my internet service does not have a floppy drive. When I try to set
the network up I begin on the machine that dials my internet connection it
wants me to make a disk for the other computers. How can I get around this
since I do not have a floppy drive?
Thanks
Sherry

Great idea, "digit41". Copy this file to a USB storage stick (or
CD-R) and run it on the other computers:

C:\Windows\System32\Netsetup.exe

If the other computers have Windows XP, you don't need to make a
network setup disk. you can run the Network Setup Wizard directly.
