Windows XP did away with the protocol Net BEUI. When you have XP set up ok networking, it offers to make a setup disk to run on your other machines so they can communicate with it properly, it is all automatic. I would check MS to see if all your hardware is supported first.

Finally got it to work using NetBEUI, when TCP/IP not work. If upgrade one of the two Win98 computers to XP, can still use NetBEUI? If not, will have problems I had with Win98, trying to get TCP/IP to work?
