Can any one provide detailed steps for both Win2k and WinXP to see each
other's share folder via my LAN (Syslink)? Note the configuration is as
follows:
IBM (Win2000) and Dell (WinXP) both connected to LAN, when the LAN then
connects to SBC DSL modem.
I have tried the networking help (wizard) on both Laptop without any
success....

One thing strange I noticed is that before I turn the LAN on, I have the
choices of LAN and wireless in XP's Networking wizard. After LAN becomes on,
the choice of LAN disappears. How can I set up LAN as my networking device if
it no longer available?

Thanks in advance.
