Ages ago, on this XP SP1 Home PC, I managed to setup an old W98 PC inYou remove the reference to the old PC from the Hosts file.
my shed/workshop, and was sporadically able to transfer files between
the two. I'd like to get rid of it, but I'm now hazy about how to do
that! Could someone point me in the right direction please?
You remove any references to the old PC from a router setup, if you have
one.
These are just housecleaning that really need never be done.
Probably your XP machine cannot see itself.
Also, when I run the diagnostic program SiSoft Sandra on my XP PC,
under the 'Network (LAN)' heading it reports:
'Web Client Network: No domains found: No hosts detected!'
Given that the shed PC has been switched off for a year or so, how
exactly should I interpret that message please?

The software cannot see the machine which is shut off.
If you had an ethernet connection, then there would be something wrong with
the W98 machine because ethernet
adapters are supposed to broadcast their MAC address. Not all adapters
broadcast the MAC address when the main
power is off.
So, I would interpret the message as showing that the machine that has not
been active for so long is really powered off.
