I was hoping to use a cross-over LAN cable to get stuff off my old
PC (Win98) & sent to my new one (XP Home). Even with no login, the
same workgroup & similar IP addresses, & all protocols installed,
they don't see each other. The XP pings the '98 OK, but not vice versa.
What have I missed? Note that this is a hotel-room kludge, & if I
was at home, I would have stuck them both in a router & it would
have been finished in 2 minutes!
Netbios ? 98 didn't support Netbios very well. You could add IPX/SPX
or Netbeui but even better is if you add the ip addy of the XP
machine to the WINS Resolution of the 98 machine.
