Network with 3 computers with WIN98(SP2)operating systems
and 1 computer with WIN2000 operating system. All
networked with a Netgear FE108 hub. I want to do 2 things
and would like to know of any problems, hints, etc before
I start.

First, I am getting a new computer with XP Pro to replace
one of the WIN98 computers. How much trouble to Network
this computer in?

Second, I want to upgrade the OS of the other other
computers to XP Pro as well. Any known problems with
upgrading? I think I have enough RAM, etc. for XP on the
computers.

Please, any hints will be much appreciated.

Thanks, Gretchen
 
if all machines are XP then networking them should not cause too much grief.
i recommend doing a clean install (backup your data then format the drive
then install xp). reason being is that the upgrade takes all the garbage and
problems the old os had with it to the new one.
