Can't run XP Network Setup on 98SE machine
I know the feeling.
I had the same experience. I just waited while the Setup program executed on the 98 machine. Eventually it worked. How are you interconnecting the machines USB or LAN (Ethernet Adapters)? If the latter, cross-over cable must be used. One of the key steps I had to take was to stop the firewall on the connection between the two machines. I also found that the internet must be connected to the XP machine while establishing the connection between the two machines. in my case I do not use passwords on the XP. Terry -----Original Message----- Created a setup disk to use on a 98SE laptop. Ran it and rebooted, then ran the wizard but it doesn't finish configuring the computer for networking. Get the "Please wait..." and it is in an endless process. I have ctrl+alt+del. Any suggestions, I really like to enable file and printer sharing between an XP and 98SE machines. . |
