Network Setup Disk on CD

[Jaclyn]

I am trying to set up a network at home. I want to
create a network setup disk on my XP laptop to run on my
98 computer, but the only option is floppy disk. I need
to write it to a CD.

You can also use the wizard from the Windows XP CD-ROM to configure other
computers in the home network. To do this, insert the CD-ROM, click Perform
Additional Tasks, and then click the option to set up a home or small office
network.

I have no Windows XP CD. Is there any other option?

Yes. XP's network wizard in this file:

C:\Windows\System32\Netsetup.exe

Copy it to a removable medium (CD-R, thumb drive, memory stick, etc)
and run it on the other computers.
