It must be mad cow disease, but every website I read about networking confuses me further.

This is again about my wife's (non-profit, as in "if they had any money, do you think they would be asking me to do this stuff?") work LAN.

They have about 6-7 PCs running XP, W2K and maybe W98. They are all Ethernetted to a router/switch and they all have Internet access.

My wife has a large collection of files that she would like to transfer to a W2K computer from her XP machine. I thought that a network transfer would be easier than (ugh!!) floppies or CDs. Right now, if I go to Network Neighborhood on any of the computers on th LAN, I see no other computers.

(Do I need NetBEUI? I don't think so but some sites say I do.)

I think I can use the wizard in XP to get things started and I think I can copy the settings to the W2K computer.

I have to set up an account on each computer for the other user, right?

What have I forgotten to ask? :-)

If anyone knows of an accurate, simple step-by-step website, I'd be forever indebted.
