I have several computers connected together. two are
win98 and one is winxp. I have different manf. cards in
each. I just upgraded to a wirless router for my laptop
and it is neat. I use tcip protocal for all network
communications. If you connect to the internet, use a
firewall like zonealarm to block incoming and spyware.
