Check your IP to be in the same class x.x.x.1/2 and the net mask the same 255.255.255.0

Use the XP machine for this.

1. Open NETWORK PLACES
2. Over in the task pane (that annoyingly slow blue bar thing on the left side of the window)
look for a link that sets up a new connection.
3. Follow the wizard for setting up a home network.
4. You'll need a 3.5 floppy for this.
5. XP will make a floppy disk that will automatically configure other machines so that a peer to peer lan can be created.
