Win 2000 & Win98 together on network - sharing printers and files

Asked by JoeBoyd in Windows NT Networking

Tags: 2000, 98, connect, network

I'm new to getting Win 2000 and Win98 SE working together on a small network.   I have 2 PCs with Win 98 SE and one PC with Win2000 Prof.   I have gotten the Win98 PCs to talk to each other on the network, but now I need to add this Win2000.  I just have a simple 5 port switch to connect all 3 together.  

It seems if I remember right I tried this about a year ago and ran into problems.  It seems getting a WIn 2000 and Win98 PC to talk back and forth - file sharing and printer sharing - is a little tricky, or can be.  

I basically need to know how to get all 3 of these PCs talking to each other every way possible: share files with each other and share printers with each other.   One of my specific needs is to get a program (ACAD) on the Win 98 PC to print on a plotter connected to a parallel port on the Win 2000 PC.    I also need to transfer files back and forth between the PCs also.

Thanks for your help
