I have two computers, I want to network for the Lions Club here in my hometown...
comp #1.
win 98 1st edition
has quicken, and microsoft office.
no network card..
yes to modem.
64 memory
comp #2.
win 95 old computer
small hard drive, and no quicken or microsoft office.
no network card
slow modem. 14.4
16 memory
they want to be able for the # 2 computer, to work on files from quicken, and excell...and use one printer...
my solution =
add two nics.
use a cross over cable, so i don't need a HUB?
use NetBuei?
remove TCP/IP if installed.?
how is the # 2 computer going to open files, without having the programs on its hard drive?
will I use mapping?
or should I install the programs on the old comptuter, and use it as a dummy, and save all files to the # 1 computer..?
share printer.
upgrade memory.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Again for being there..

Answer Hi Judy...
You just have to connect both the computers using "Laplink" cable, which is available with computer vendors. Install the software which is provided with the cable.
After this any one computer can become master and the other a slave. Now you can transfer data (files) from master to slave, very easily.
