I am using a wireless router and adapter between two PC's.
How do I create a bridge to access information from one
hard drive to the other. Is it even possible.
 
1. Open XP's "Help and Support Center".
2. Type: BRIDGE in the Search box, hit enter.
3. Click on "Create a Network Bridge".

I too am in the same boat. But I now have my main Win XP wired into a router
with wireless capabilities, and one P2 Win 98 hooked in using a wireless USB
device, and another computer, a P3, wired in also. The Win XP computer and
the P3 win 98 both seem to have the sharing components installed in the
network config, but the p2 win 98 wireless connection just has the TCP/IP
thingy - no printer or other sharing components.

So I know it's off topic, but does anyone know offhand if the rules for hard
drive sharing apply to win 98 too? Also, if I need to (OT again) how do
install the printer sharing & other components in the P2?

BTW, using a USB device for wirelss hookup, a P2 400 MHz with only 64 MBs RAM
realizes full cable Internet speed (almost the 3000 Kbps I am supposed to
get).

....D.
