setting up a home network advice

[scott]

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to
the best way ( and if its possible) to network 2 computers
(one with xp and one with 98) together. The main thing
that is needed for the 98 machine is to access the
internet and my printer.
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on both computers. It will configure
them for networking and share xp's printer. If you want 98 to access
the Internet through xp's connection, give the appropriate answers
when the Wizard asks how the computers connect to the Internet.

Install the printer on 98 as a network printer, and browse to the
printer's location on xp. You might need to have a floppy or CD with
the printer's driver program for 98.
