Hi all,

I've done some Googling on the subject, but can't find an answer to my question specifically.


I have one machine running XP Home, and another running Win98se. I'd like to buy a router and have both sharing the dsl modem.

Now, that part is fairly straightforward.

Can either system "see" what's on each other's hard drive?? Can I copy files from my XP computer to my 98se machine over the network?

I need my Win98 machine to run 98 (older applications that aren't XP compatible), so I can't change the OS for that reason. Any suggestions? websites for info?

Thanks! :) 
File sharing is no problem. Try these sites for
