Do i have to use netbios?

[mordantmonkey]

i have one machine on 98 and another running XP. do i have to use NetBios in order to browse/use files from one to the other?

Is there another option?

It depends whether you want easy file sharing or just to be ?politically? correct.

I just want to be able to file share. I mainly want to be able to browse and access video aduio files. though currently i can't copy or move .exe for some reason, it'd be nice to be able to do that too.
And i'm not sure what you mean by "politically correct". i wasn't aware that computers were alll that sensitive.

Well that really depends on how long your name is with on the machine with xp.

Do you mean the computer name or my login name?
