You don't need the Wizard period to make two NT based O/S(s) communicate
with each other on a network.

But on the other hand if you have to use the Wizard, you don't need any
disks. One uses the disks to install the networking for non-NT based O/S
(s) such as ME/98/95 so they can share resources with a XP/NT based O/S.

Google is your friend.
