Hi, I'm trying to connect my old laptop (PII 300MHZ, 128MB RAM) to my desktop computer (AMD XP 2600+, 1GB RAM) by LAN. The laptop has actually MS-DOS 6.22 and desktop is running under Windows XP Professional SP2.

I've installed the network drivers for DOS and also the Microsoft Network Client Version 3.0 and Microsoft Workgroup Add-on but it doesn't seems to work. Both computers have the same workgroup but they can't see each other.

Anyone KNOWS how to configure the network? Thanks.put windows onto the p II and you should be fine. If p2 has win98 you have to add netbois to win98 and the winxp computer. Also put a ip into the tcp/ip config and it should work. That how a FRIEND of mine got mine to work.The problem is that the CD-ROM neither works so I'm trying to use network to install other OS (i.e. copying i386 folder on laptop's HD for install).If you are wanting to install XP on that machine that laptop is not going to be very happy...I'm not so CRAZY... I want to install Windows 2000 on it. Any solution for network config??Quote
