networking XP and 98

[Will K]

Hi

Are there any known issue / fixes for networking Windows 98 and Windows XP? I am using a 10/100 switch and need to share a database on Windows 98 PC to the XP one. The XP system will also get a database I need to share back to the 98 System.

Thanks

Hi Will,

They network together just fine. You can either set it up yourself or use
the networking wizard.

Greetings --

On the WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with non-blank
password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
shares. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will
be able to access the designated shares, provided your network is
configured properly. On the Win9x machines, make sure File and Print
Sharing is enabled. Make sure that all three computers are using the
same networking protocol and are on the same subnet.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:
