Networking XP & Win98SE
I'm trying to understand why networking XP & Win98SE aren't working together. What I mean is this: when I'm playing a pc game through my HHD and CD-rom on the Host computer(XP)& my friend comes over to use the internet on the other pc with Win98SE, when she tries to connect to the net it stops my game and I'm now on the desktop with the dial-up dialog box. Once she's connected I can resume playing but everytime she gets disconnected or gets boot off the internet game she's playing it interupts my game everytime. Am I wrong in believing that I should be able to work or play on the Host pc without interference from the other pc? If not, then what's the point of networking? I realize the Host has to be on at all times in order forthe other pc to connect. If you need more info please let me know.
