Im trying to transfer files between my pc on xp and laptop on 98.
Ive tried connecting NIC to NIC using a crossover cable and i get the connected LED lighting up.
But what do i have to do after that, do i have to set something up in 'my network places' ?
Also im getting a new desktop with xp so will the same method work for xp to xp?
pre thanks
