Setting up network with different OS

Posted: 10-24-2006, 03:44 PM
Hi,

Is it easy to setup a network between a computer with Windows Vista and the
other computer with Windows XP Professional? Because last time it took me a
lot of trouble setting up a network for a computer with Windows XP and the
other computer operating with a Windows 98.

As long as you join both computers to the same workgroup or domain, it
shouldn't take more than a minute or so. Your workgroup sharing options are
pretty simple. I assume all your workgroup PCs are on the same IP subnet,
and that your user accounts have been setup. That's a total of about 5
minutes of checking or configuration.
