I have just the same problem. I have tried linking them
together, I have tried connecting them both to a common
hub, I have tried everthing I can find within the Win95
setup. All to no avail. I would also be interested to know
how this can be done. The XP home edition says one has to
run the XP setup on the other computer and yet when one
tries it says it can be run!!
