I am having troubles networking XP and 95 too.I have made
a workgroup called 'Mshome' and I have connected them via
2 patch leads and a hub. The computers won't connect to
each other :( I have followed all the advice on the
microsoft support pages. From the XP machine I can use
command prompt to ping the 95 machine and it works fine.
Although in 95's Network neighbothood and XP's Ntwork
Places I can't find or see the opposite computer only the
computer that I am using. I am new to networking can
somebody help me?
