networking XP with Win95 ??

[Jasonc]

Does anyone have any suggestions for making a windows xp machine network
with a windows 95 machine !
there is a usb linksys card in the 95, a linksys hub, the xp was pre-equiped
..
hub sees both (from the lights), xp sees the hub, 95 sees nothing. currently
just want the 95 for data storage without having to use sneaker-net...

thanks for any help

My Win95 box lives happily on my lan, which includes boxen running
Win98, XP, Linux, and OSX. If your network is set up correctly, I'd
question using a usb card under Win95. Even Win95SE didn't handle usb
well, and of course it wasn't supported at all in the FE. Be sure you
have created a user account and password on the Win95 box and are
actually logging in and that dial-up networking is installed. You need
matching user accounts/passwords on the XP box. Be sure you've created
a shared resource on the Win95 box. Here are some really useful links
to help you:
