Windows xp

Have a new computor coming soon and it will have xp on it. Now I would like to network this win98 machine to the new one to get my stuff transferred. I am using the network card for dsl now and am sure I will be the same with the new. Anyways the question is: is there a setup procedure in the software to do this or just plug 'em in. <br />I did this before with 2 win95 machines and it worked. I know this can be done, 98 to xp, just need to know what the procedure is. Thanks Chief

Re: Windows xp

XP will have a "Network setup connection wizard" that will allow you to make a floppy disk that you can just pop into the 98 pc and it will set it up for you. You'll still have to "share" the drives.

So, what you're saying is that the machine will figure it out and tell me what to do...I don't know if I like that, but I will stay open minded...Chief

XP had has a "File and Setting Transfer Wizard" that will walk you through the process of transferring everything from the old PC to the new. You'll find it under program->Accessories-> System Tools -> File & Settings transfer Wizard

Re: Windows xp

Maybe someone knows about Norton? I bought the new Norton, but this version came free for 6 months so I thought I would use this till renew time then install the new one. I have to disable the firewall to get on internet. I can't figure out the settings to get it to let me have access. Help please...Chief
