Networking Win98 with WinXP
LockedI am having problems networking together Win98 and WinXP machines. I am trying to transfer huge files (over 3 GB worth) that won’t fit on disks from my XP to my 98. I connected the two computers using a crossover cable. My workgroup names are thesame on both machines, and it appears as if the network has been setup, however I don’t see the other computer on the machines. That is, on the XP, under the Workgroup HOMENETWORK I only see the XP machine. And on the 98 under the Workgroup HOMENETWORK I only see the 98 machine. Has anyone accomplished this task before? Please help! I’m running out of space on the XP (only 8% left — not even enough to run defrag!!) and I want to transfer this stuff before it crashes!
