I just got the cable router hooked to the W98 pc and the wireless card
in the slot on the XP laptop, both are online without problems.
Now are there any special issues for networking the 2 OS's so I can
move stuff back and forth?

No. Run the Network Setup Wizard on the Windows XP computer and when
it has finished create the Network Setup Disk to run the Wizard on the
other computer as well.
 
DUH! I think I got it. All

I had to do was drop the firewalls on the 2 computers.

They don't mention that in the setup wizard.

Many thanks
