Win98 - XP File/Printer Sharing
I set up a Belkin Wireless G router hard-wired to an XP machine and w/ a
wireless adapter in an old 98SE machine upstairs. Internet browsing is fine on both but I hit a snag while trying to set up the home network. Walked thru the Network Setup Wizard fine on the XP machine but that machine does not have a floppy so I couldn't create a setup disk. I read that you could use the WinXP CD to do the setup on the 98 machine but when I tried it bombed with an app error - winxpchk - got the "Performed illegal operation and must shut down" message. What steps can I take to set up w/o a setup disk? TIA, Steve -- Steve Ragan |

Add these network components if they aren't already present: TCP/IP protocol Client for Microsoft Networks File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks 2. Remove these network components if they're present: IPX/SPX protocol NetBEUI protocol Client for NetWare networks 3. Configure the TCP/IP properties to obtain an IP address automatically. 4. Set the workgroup name to the same name that the Windows XP computer uses (default for XP is MSHOME). 5. Reboot. 6. Right-click and share desired disks, folders, and printers. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

Win98 - XP File/Printer Sharing
Thanks. That did it (mostly).
I set up a shared folder on the 98 machine and am able to put files there to transfer back and forth. I still need to get the 98 to see the network but based on other posts I've seen I think I need to check the log in. I'll get back to that tomorrow. Ran out of time tonight - trying to squeeze in yard work has been tough in the Northeast this week ;-) Thanks again -- Steve Ragan "Steve Winograd [MVP]" wrote: In article , "Steve" wrote: I set up a Belkin Wireless G router hard-wired to an XP machine and w/ a wireless adapter in an old 98SE machine upstairs.
