    Hi guys, I am a complete newbie as far as XP is concerned, I have at the moment 2 computers both running Windows 98 SE on a wireless network sharing files and printers. I want to add a new computer running XP to make it a 3rd computer on the network, what are the settings to allow me to share files and printers with the 2 other Win 98SE computers?

    How are the 98 machines set up? IP addresses for example? The initial step is to get the new PC on the same network, then you can set up file sharing and printing. So we'd need to know the configuration of the current network and the IP addresses will tell us that. A dump of IPCONFIG /ALL on one of the PCs would be a good start.
