However, it's been a bitch to get the XP machine to work on the network with the 98/ME/2000 machines. Everything works together ok, except sometimes some of the machines can't see the XP machine, even though it can always see them. I have no idea why.
Overall, I give it the thumbs up.

I had the same problem when I was sharing an building with a friend..... with 2k pro and win 98... but we found our problem was
Norton personal firewall... and our router.... I did the trouble shooting and had one huge of a time convinceing him that our one month router was bad... as to the firewall we switched to ZoneAlarm..... but even without the router and firewall getting the 2k pro and win98 to work was bitch...... could see the computers one way but not the other......
So one of mine was a 2k pro and a win98.... if I wanted to back up I up my main computer I had to go to the 2k pro one and do it from there...
