Win 98 and Win 2000
I have the above 2 computers. Only the Win 98 has internet access that I use
to get my email. I would like to be able to transfer files from the 98 to the 2000 and use the printer connected to the 2000 computer. I have network cards in each computer. Is there a way I can do a peer to peer without router and only connecting a cable from one to the other? I have little knowledge if any of hardware / networking. I do know how to use the control panel. I know that both machines Client for Microsoft and TCP/IP in the network properties. I would appreciate any help .... Thanks you. |
