Hello Gerald - 

--8<--cut 

BR>>>> No need <g> I added the IP addresses (192.168.0.n) to
BR>>>> No need <g> each 

BR>>>> machine (on TCP/IP bound to NIC) plus NetBEUI, etc
BR>>>> protocols also bound to NIC, rebooted, Bingo! 

GM> This all sounds very technical, but I think I have been
GM> able to "muddle" through and accomplish similar results...
GM> The "Bingo" term is not that difficult to understand. <grin> 

BR>>>> These two systems will transfer data back and forth as
BR>>>> fast the hard drives can read & write it <chuckle> very
BR>>>> cool ... Many thanks for assistance from all ... 

CA>>> Somehow I get the feeling that it wasn't as "easy" to get
CA>>> this working as some have been saying it is? 

GM> I feel guilty at chiding Charles for not getting with the
GM> game. 

No need to berate yourself. My attempts to network my brother's
machines was quite some time ago (earlier this year) and in no
way related to any conversations here on FIDO. 

GM> ;-) Only certain aspects are easy, the rest is "ball
GM> breaking" work! 

I am encouraged by so many others here and their willingness to
admit that networking/P2P Windows computers has not always
worked as-advertised and can be extremely frustrating. It's a
start. Once we admit that tutorials and docs available aren't
entirely forthcoming about every step necessary we may be able
to compile a _proper_ set of instructions for each version of
Windows that results in the total networking capabilities we
have all been lead to believe exists within the Windows OS. :-) 

BR>> Well, I had difficulty mostly due to my own ignorance ...
BR>> had I researched the subject beforehand, I would have
BR>> found plenty of information, all very neatly organized
BR>> with exactly what I needed, including screen shots
BR>> <shrug>. I still have to set up ICS to share the modem
BR>> plus DOS networking on another machine, as well as Linux &
BR>> Samba, so I checked out the references given and saved the
BR>> web pages complete with screenshots for perusal under DOS
BR>> as needed. [:^) 

GM> Very neatly organized? Screen shots? DOS networking? E-mail
GM> will be forthcoming! <vBg> 

If Ben has knowledge as to the whereabouts of such detailed
information it would benefit many users here if he listed those
locations within a message posted here on FIDO? 

BR>> But no, it's not "easy" or "simple" unless you get lucky.
BR>> <chuckle> 

GM> I will attest that I had more blind luck than education in
GM> my attempts at networking. ;-)) 

Had I been 'lucky' I may have been unaware that the available
information is incomplete and often contradicts other
information. My misfortune may have positive results if we can
compile better tutorials. 

--8<--cut 

GM> Also, WinXPP and Win2K are NT based systems, are they not?
GM> Is anyone aware of compatibility issues between these two
GM> systems? (I suspect that they would be more harmonious than
GM> most other systems, but I'm seeking answers) 

In theory, any machine using TCP/IP to network should function
with any other machine using TCP/IP. A Linux machine should be
able to network with a Windows machine (any flavor). The
differences in filename max length and allowed characters might
be a speed bump though?
