How do I get a Laptop running Windows 2000 to network
with a PC running Windows XP. They are both using a
wireless connection and can both access the same DSL Line?
Told can't run Internet Setup Wizard for XP on 2000 - so
what do I do? Appreciate any pointers. Thanks.

I've hooked my laptop running XP Pro directly up to my
older home PC running Win2000, with a short Cat6
crossover cable. The PC sees the laptop, but the laptop
won't see the PC. The netsetup.exe disk won't run on
Win2000, its says every other Win system but 2000.
I don't want to run XP Pro on my PC as this will bog it
big time, happy with 2000. I've run add network place
and set up again, but still no sight of the PC. Can read
my laptop from my Win2000 PC tho.
Any thoughts most appreciated.
