This is a ''hub'' for connecting two systems.
XP contains step-by-step instructions for setting up a network in the form of two Wizards; the New Connection Wizard and the Network Setup Wizard. These are accessed from Control Panel - Network Connections. Depending on your view, they may be shown as icons or they may be listed as tasks in a panel on the left of the window.
When you run the setup Wizard, you will create a floppy that is used to set up the other computer. I have used this on XP-Win98 connections, and expect it will also work on XP-Win95 connections.

I was just wondering if there was a way to do this. I have an ethernet card, an onboard LAN and a crossover cable. I put the ethernet card in my OLD machine thats running windows 95b and my onboard lan is in my "new" computer running windows XP home sp2, theyre both 10/100Mbps.
What I'm wanting is to move stuff I download on the main pc thats behind a firewall and virus-scanner to the old pc, and also if I could use instant messaging on the second computer that'd be great. More specificly AIM and MSN or trillian since it handles both, but thats it just casual IM, no downloading/browsing ETC.
Money is tight right now so I'm having to work with what I've got. So if anyone can give me some sort of step by step or point me towards some faqs/walkthrus or whatever that'd be great.
