Take the desktop PC and put it on a workbench, on its side. Then, take the laptop and set it on top of the desktop PC which is on its side on a workbench. Then, take a hammer and ten penny nail and, using the hammer, drive the nail through the laptop which is on top of the desktop PC which is on its side on a workbench and continue driving the nail until the laptop is connected to the desktop PC which is on its side on a workbench.
Done.

That's the deal: I've got a win98 PC, and an XP home ( I know I know. I am about to get another OS for it) Laptop.
The PC has got a NIC. I've got an ethernet cable connecting them.
How I make this crap work, and get them to:
-send each other files.
-share drives
-**** like that.
Thanks in advance.
on each box try
route add (first 3 parts of box 1 IP).0 mask 255.255.255.0 box2:ipComment

so for example if the ips are 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 respectively on 1.1.1.1 you'd type:
route add 2.2.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 1.1.1.1
and
route add 1.1.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 2.2.2.2
on the second box.Comment

Or you could just buy a router.Comment

You can even share files on an ext2fs, with a linux kernel and maybe it's not an i386 puter but an alpha or sparc with solarisOriginally posted by Oncle Boris
Don't know if it matters... but assuredly networking 98 and XP is not a given.

You need to run Samba on the Linux computer, though

How do I set/retrieve the set ips?
and why is the mask 255.255.255.0?
winipcfg sez mask is 255.255.0.0 on my computerComment
