Boring networking query!

Hi there, I'd like to be able to bring stuff over a network either way
between an XP and a 98 machine, both have network ports, and are connected
together, and the XP signals its up and running as 98 boots up. So, I'm not
really into networks, what do I need to do to see a drive or whatever from
either end that I can browse so I can move files about?

Also, is there some easy way to stop the 98 machine from prompting for a
network password at boot up? There is only me here and its getting annoying
now!

Thanks.

Brian

Blank Password: Go to control panel, network, primary network logon and
select Windows Logon. Go to control panel, passwords, user profiles and
ensure the "all user's" box is marked. If you have a password established,
go to control panel, passwords, change windows password, type the password
in the old box, leave the rest blank and OK your way out. If you have
forgotten your password, delete the .pwl file with your user name (mine is
ron.pwl); however, be aware that you will lose all passwords stored in the
..pwl file. If you do not have a password established or have deleted the
..pwl file, when the W95/98 logon screen appears at boot, type a user name
only and hit OK. If the logon screen continues to appear and you have Tweak
UI installed, go to the Paranoia tab and remove the mark from "clear last
user."
