Networking games

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Again, I'm a newbie to WIndows XP. My son's computer is still running Win
98. Now it seems I can't play games through the home LAN that used to play
just fine.
Any help out there?

Thanks but what I needed was to load the 98 computer with the XP networking
software. It worked fine then.
Now I have an issue with getting my netowrked computer connected, but
hopefully that will just take playing around with it for a while.
