If both have NIC Card just make a crossover cable ....well to do this you need and special tool, just  buy it in bestbuy or any computer store, it's bery cheap.\n\nAfter you connect them configure the NIC card on each PC as follow:\n\nConfig NIC Manually and type:\n\nOn PC1 \nIP:10.10.10.1\nmask:255.255.255.0\n\nOn PC2 \nIP:10.10.10.2\nmask:255.255.255.0\n\nAnd you ar ready to play......    :>\n\nIf you access Internet throug your NIC, you willnot be able to browse at the same time.

is your broadband connection wireless (no wires whatsoever) or is it a wired connection?\nif you're using wireless, you're ISP (Internet Service Provider) may require you to configure their settings on your laptop.\n\nif it is a wired connection, then what system are you running, win98? winXP? win2000?\nif yer using winXP, configuring yer broadband connection won't be too hard. winXP has 'user-friendly' features for configuring a broadband connection.\n\nare you using an iMac?\nwell, an iMac is a totally different concern.

Thats what I want to is well and here is the answer when I asked: (I havent tried it yet)\n\n"The USB cable will not work for you. You will need to purchase a crossover cable, a special network cable, to connect the two computers. Then, the XP network setup wizard should be able to help you do the rest."

If those two computers are XP, then the IP addresses, DNS servers and internet options are all automatically configured. If they are using 98, then the settings are just manually configured. You should edit the IP manually. For example, if one IP is 193.8.0.1 then the other one should be 193.8.0.2. The 193 should be the number of the LAN router of your two PCs. If you use other numbers than what your network says, then the internet will not be accesible, or your LAN games may not work properly.

I always use http://pcpitstop.com. But make sure that you have nothing else running in the background (MSN Messenger, et al). You might get a more accurate figure in Safe Mode With Networking. If the safe mode figure is much higher try and find out what else is using your bandwidth. http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html is a great little utility that shows all the active internet connections on your PC

I dont want to re-invent the wheel. \nhere's the link that'll explain better\nThis is assuming that you have WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION OPERATING SYSTEM\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/bowman_02april08.mspx

Here's how to share folders, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/getstarted/shareresources.mspx, connect the two computers together using a LAN cable and file sharing/folder sharing SHOULD work.  What you want to do and what Windows wants to do may be two different things, I've successfully done this one many computers and some simply refused to acknowledge the connection.\n\nThere is an alternative, you can try Beamfile, http://www.beamfile.com/

With LAN, just a crossover cable will suffice. with wifi then an absolute doddle.\n\nThere is a wizard to help you set the netwrk up, run it on both machines, make sure that both machines are marked belonging to the same group : mshome for example - and away you go.\n\nIf you have problems, please be a tiny bit more specific - eg; hardware or software queries.\n\nYou do *** NOT *** need a server to connect two PC's, you do not even need a hub.

To connect a pc directly to a pc you need a Crossover Network cable and also enable networking on both. \n\nElse, you'll have to use a router and set up LAN.

Where are the 98 and the working XP machine getting their IP from?\n\nFrom what you wrote you have a win98 machine with 2 NICs.  One pointing to the Internet and the other to an internal network.  Both XP machines are using the internal network to connect to the Win98 machine which has Internet sharing enable on it.  Do I have it correct so far?\n\nIf so then you need to configure all the internal NIC to be using the same IP ranges with the same mask and the external NIC of the Win98 machine as the gateway.\n\nIt would seem that adding a router to your configuration would be your best solution and then all 3 computers could get their IP information from that.

try winxp professional

There is no easy way to do it.\n\nThe only way I can think of would be to create a bootable network floppy disk to give you DOS access to the network, then you can map a drive to another PC and run the windows XP installation from there... Network install. It will work but you'll have to use a full version of XP.

You sound like you're almost there...you just need to select individual folders to share.  Sometimes WinXP won't let you share desktop items, but you can select any folder in your "My Folders" directory and right-click it and choose to share the contents.  Then you should be able to see it and access it from your laptop.
