I set up a home network between a win98 and an XP
computer. The XP has 5 user accounts setup. I would like
the network printer to run from the XP. Any way to set a
default printer on the 98, it seems it is now dependant
on which account is logged on:
ie. //user1/Epson, //user2/epson...etc.
 
I am sure many people would like to know how you were
able to network 98SE and XP. I keep reading problems
about it - I still can't figure it out either. You can
actually see both computers in network neighborhood?
 
I just ran the network set up wizard in XP, when asked to
create a disk I did so. A file called NTSETUP was
created, I first tried to set up 98 with its wizard but
couldn't see all computers, then I ran the NTSETUP from
the floppy and the wizard worked/ I can see and access
all the computers, and acces the printer on XP as long as
I know which user account is on in XP.
Good Luck, Mark
