Greetings,

I have 3 PCs at home. 1 running Win98, 1 running Win98SE, and 1 running WinXP Home. They are all hooked up to an SMC Barricade 4 port router to access the Internet. I'd like to be able to see each PC from the other PCs so I can transfer files and such across. What settings to I need to set in order to make that happen? I know a lot about 98 but next to nothing about XP.

Thanks for any help.
 
For the initial setting, disable all software Firewall (including WinXP native ICF); disable any active Virus scan or any other utility that might intercept Network Traffic.

You have to enable user, and sharing settings on all computers.
