Another method that I have found handy is to connect the two computers witha cross-over network cable and create a small network between the computers. You put them in the same work group and assign them different IP addreses. eg 192.168.100.1 and the other 192.168.100.2. The work group could be any name. You simply share the data or files on the win 98 machine and access them on the win XP machine. -- chipo chika [log in to unmask] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Accessible with your email software or over the web The NOSPIN Group is now offering Free PC Tech support at our newest website: http://freepctech.com
