How do I map drives on two computers using xp  with the network going through a hub. What about w/98 and xp?

Make sure you have file and printer sharing enabled. Share a folder on one computer. Let's say you shared it as "sharedfolder" and that your computer is named "computer1" and its IP address is 192.168.1.5. On the other computer, you can reach that folder by clicking Start and then Run, then type <backslash> <backslash> computer1 <backslash> sharedfolder or <backslash> <backslash> 192.168.1.5 <backslash> sharedfolder (with no spaces).\n\n(Sorry. Answers wouldn't let me type in a back-slash. It's usually right above the Enter key.)

Make sure you run the network setup wizard on both, and make sure both are using the exact same workgroup or network name. It is case sensitive. then right click the start button and open explore on both machines and right click on the root directory (c:&#92;on most computers) or just the folder you want to share. then click on sharing and security, share files and folders. click yes that you know the risks, and then click on share the folder and make sure you check whether you want to allow other users to cahnge your files. do this on both machines and you should have no further issues.

of corse you can do this , it's very simple,\n\ntry to copy the desired folder on a usb flash drive for example , \nif you don't have one, you surely have the bluetooth technology on your laptop, put your two laptops closely in one room and turn this technology on , file transfer is then a piece of cake ,,\nfinally if you can't move any of your laptops , you can create a LAN network between them using windows-xp installation CD.

If you have more data then a cd will hold consider a crossover cable, it will allow you to directly connect both PC.\n\nWhile the crossover cable is connected you will only have access to the other machine and you will need to manually setup the IP information.  Then enable file and print sharing on both machines.\n\nsuggested IP\nMachine 1\n10.0.0.10\n255.255.255.0\n10.0.0.10\n\nMachine 2\n10.0.0.20\n255.255.255.0\n10.0.0.10\n\nThis should work and keep you from wasting a CD or going through the setups of transferring from one computer to an external computer and back down to the new computer.

If you can see the contents of the drive on another pc, then it might be necessary to reinitialize the usbhub attibute on your pc.  Go to my computer, right click and choose manage.  bring up the the device manager, and delete the usb hub. then have the computer re-review the pc components.  this should bring the hub back up with the right drivers.  then put the stick in and see what happens

Make sure your old drive does not have any jumpers set to "Master"...make it a cable select or slave, and also make sure your new XP drive is first on the ribbon so it boots and not your old win 98

If I remember correctly, "The Network Neighbourhood" was Microsoft's old version of "My Network Places" before WinXP\n\nI'll assume that you've already set up the network. When you set up the network, you must choose the option: "turn on file and printer sharing."\n\nOnce done, just right-click the folder or drive you want to share, and click on "sharing." I don't remember being able to share individual files. Then give the folder a "Share Name." You're all set now.\n\nAlso, you might want to make sure that you're in the same workgroup as the computers with which you wish to share.

They won't communicate via USB.  If they each have a network connection, you can connect them to each other with a cross-connect cat5 cable, assigne them each an IP address int he same subnet (or have the XP machine do DHCP) and they will see each other.

Simple...  All you need to do is setup sharing on all three of your machines...  Right click on your hard drive in "My Computer" and choose "Sharing and Security."  It should be mostly self-explanatory from there.\n\nJust be sure to do this on each of your machines.\n\nAfter that, as long as all three computers are on the same network, you should be able to access and browse through the hard drives on each respective machine.\n\nTake note of the computer name of each computer, though... You'll need that when browsing.  In any window, you'll then enter "//ComputerName" in the address bar.  With that, you should be able to see the hard drive and it's contents...\n\nGood luck!

Windows XP does not accept to work on other machines than the one that been installed into.\nmeans, when you install windows XP on hard drive in machine1, you can not run that windows by moving hard drive in machine2.\n\nYou need to install new Windows XP into this old hard while in machine2.\n\n\nXLMan

First you need to make sure that both PCs are in the same workgroup. once you confirm that then make sure the Firewall is not blocking the Traffic on the XP side. I used to have this problem until I added the Computer name as part of my trusted PC in the Firewall.

Where are the 98 and the working XP machine getting their IP from?\n\nFrom what you wrote you have a win98 machine with 2 NICs.  One pointing to the Internet and the other to an internal network.  Both XP machines are using the internal network to connect to the Win98 machine which has Internet sharing enable on it.  Do I have it correct so far?\n\nIf so then you need to configure all the internal NIC to be using the same IP ranges with the same mask and the external NIC of the Win98 machine as the gateway.\n\nIt would seem that adding a router to your configuration would be your best solution and then all 3 computers could get their IP information from that.

on the same network running windows XP go into the file properties, right click properties, then click sharing and share it, from seperate areas using pcanywhere or use a peer 2 peer network such as kazaa or limewire
