Has anyone been successful in connecting WindowsXP to
Windows98(1st edition)? The File Transfer Wizard is not
successful in letting the two computers find each other.
I'm using a Serial DB9 to DB9 cable connection. Now a
Microsoft Tech says that the two systems cannot be
connected by direct cable, but the Transfer Wizard
indicates that they can.
Please reply to Glenn1818@aol.com
Thanks!
