Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
Check if all of them have similar TCP/IP addresses. A similar address is when they match the numbers where the network mask is 255, for example 169.154.x.x when the network mask is 255.255.0.0
If not, aply fixed IP address for all of them with same network mask, for examplo, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3 and so on whith network mask 255.255.255.0.
Make also sure that they all belong to the same workgroup.
Please note that XP should be able to gain access to any of the shared resources of 98, but the opposite is not true, unless you open an user on XP with the same login name & password of the 98's user.
Keep us updated
Good luck
Jorge

Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
Confirm the Workgroup name is the same on both PCs = Control Panel / System / Computer Name.............
Confirm and install the same login account and password on both PCs.
Confirm the Windows Firewall is turned off on the XP PC............
Right click on both PC's C:\ drive in "My Computer" and select "Sharing and Security" to enable sharing.
Restart the PC.........
Windows XP only =
Go to the Control Panel / Network Connections, then run the "Network Setup Wizard"... During the Wizard install, keep the Workgroup name the same on both PCs.
Shutdown and restart each PC, wait ten minutes after each login. Then try it...
Happy Holidays,
Jim

Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
with a standard Konfiguration XP only allow Communication with a password set for the user that wants to connect.
This user must exist on all the Workstations with the same name and password.

Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
if you can get to the internet, they it's probably talking fine to your router/Cable modem/etc... which makes me suspect the firewall that much more

Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
go to a dos prompt on each machine and run ipconfig to get the ip addresses of each machine, then ping all the other machines.
somewhere in here you'll find that one machine can't ping anyting, or one machine can ping everyone, but noone can ping it.
from there we can look at the configurations of the non-pinging machine and work on why it's now working.
alternatively, if everything pings: then we need to get some other tools like browser monitor and figure why browsing is eating your lunch, as it often does.
