I am trying to connect a Win 2000 pc with Win 98 using a patch cable to transfer files. However I am unable to. Do I need to change any settings? Please reply at tshake@yahoo.com thanks Tshake

You'll need a cross-over cable, not a patch cable...

If you have a "HUB" to connect the two PC you can use a noramal/straight cable, But if you don't have any HUB you need to use a cross-over cable(RJ-45).
On the Win2K pc you need to add username and password that you have used or login on the Win98 PC so that Win98 can communicate with the Win2000 PC.
