View Full Version : Home Network with Win 98, Win ME and Win XP

What exactly do I need to do to set up a home network for
all three OSs? I am routing it through a Linksys router. I
tried following the directions in the Help menu, but it
didn't seem to work.


Thanks,

Joe

Kind of depends Joe. What exactly have you tried and what is/is not
working so far.

Start with this and get back to us.

Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on each computer, and tell it that the
computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway
(router). The wizard will make all the right settings:
