I just purchased a new Sony laptop and need to get my
files off my old Dell. Can I network them even though the
Sony is XP and the Dell is 98? If so, how? The Sony tries
to network, but instead of recording on CD it does it by
setting up a Network Setup disk on a memory stick??? which
is of no help in my Dell which only takes a zip, CD or
floppy.

SO...short of purchasing/borrowing an external zip for the
Sony temporarily...help if you can please.
 
If both computers have a NIC it should be relatively easy to set them up for
file transfers with just a "crossover" cable. You can get that cable at
Radio Shack for example.

Make sure that both computers are in the same workgroup and that the
machines are both logged in with the same user/password.

FWIW,
Len
