In Reply to: For my MAME box: Networking Win98SE with XP posted by Procyon Lotor on January 30, 2002 at 14:26:14:

I have found that it's the easiest way to network 2 windows computers. Share the drives/folders and give them the same workgroup.


: Hey everyone. I have a situation where I have one computer running WinXP is connected to the net, and my MAME box running Win98SE is not. So when I want update my MAME box with new emus or roms, I have to transfer files across by zip disk, or ocassionally by CD. Finally I went out and got another NIC card so I could link the two computers and just share directories so I could transfer files across an ethernet cable. But I'm having a hell of a time getting the XP and 98 machine to see and talk to one another, and I understand that's a typical problem. So are any of you out there networking gurus? Do you have any suggestions on how to get these two machines visible to one another? I have them on the same Workgroup name and everything, so I'm not sure what else to try. Thanks in advance for any tips.
