Don't laugh - Windows 7 to Windows 98 networking?
I have an old Windows 98 desktop on my network that I'd like to copy a bunch of files off of to my new Windows 7 laptop so that I can retire the Win98 machine (about time, eh?) Although I can see the Win98 machine as well as my husband's WinXP desktop in Norton Internet Security (firewall) that came on my new machine, I am unable to see either of them in "Network and Sharing Center" on the Windows 7 laptop. I only see my own machine. I am able to print to a printer attached to the Windows 98 machine as well as to another printer on the network, however.
The Windows 98 machine is set up to share My Documents, but it can only be seen on the two XP machines on my network, not the 7 machine.
Any advice? I attempted to use a USB flash drive in the Windows 98 PC to transfer the files, but there are no Win98 drivers for it. Sigh...
Thanks!
