esteban perhaps you've been to this site practicallynetworked.com it looks quite comprehensive. they have forums. maybe you can select an expert at allexperts.com and ask your winxp questions? (btw, i have not received a reply from the top-rated expert i queried on 6/14. nor have i received a reply from linksys tech support. sometimes i think the best we have is each other right here on computer learning thread. <g3>) i would imagine you will have an extra special tough time getting assistance due to the beta-ness of xp, don't you agree? here is another hot networking resource... compnetworking.about.com where you can drill down forever and forever good luck :) mark

re, "I can't find any resources that spell out how to accomplish simple networking like putergeek that cover setting up XP with an existing 95 & 98 network" Bridging Networks With Windows XP "One of the new networking features in Windows XP is called a bridge. This new feature allows two or more networks to be tied together in such a way that they act like a single network." homenethelp.com Home Networking with Windows XP "In this article I will be examining the home networking features in Windows XP. I have chosen to examine the personal version of Windows XP since it will be the most popular version used for home networks." homenethelp.com Windows XP Networking: Wireless and Home Networking "To configure networking, Microsoft offers an updated Home Networking Wizard. This configures TCP/IP settings, workgroup membership, and Internet Explorer settings for every system on the network, all at once. You can also use this wizard to share printers, and create a shared document folder that is accessible to all users from any machine on the network." winsupersite.com Windows XP Beta 2: The SuperSite Review "In what's curiously been seen as a controversial move, Microsoft has removed a number of legacy protocols from Windows XP, including NetBEUI and Data Link Control (DLC). And the 64-bit version of Windows XP Professional will not include support for IPX/SPX and IrDA. Given the move to TCP/IP-based networks, and tools like the Home Networking Wizard that make working with TCP/IP all the easier, this isn't a huge loss." winsupersite.com Windows XP Professional Comparison Guide [scroll to the bottom for....
