Okay now I have been burned out trying to figure the optimum settings myself so could someone please help me out on the following issues:
1) Basically all I want to do is to set up a LAN between a win98 and win2000 computer that supports the following:
1-Two-way filesharing between win98 and win2000 C drives.
2-Supports LAN games between the two computers (such as counter-strike, total anihiliation etc) .
3- Internet Connection Sharing using the win2000's internet connection.
1st question: Is there any way in the world I can make all these services run in both computers? And if yes how?
2nd question: Some friend told me that I should make the File Sharing Service to be handled by the IPX'S NetBIOS Protocol or the NetBEUI protocol since this network will have internet connectivity and I should not make the service run with TCP/IP for security reasons. Is this true?
3rd question: Also do LAN Games work over NetBEUI protocol instead of IPX? I saw it on the internet that it is true but if the game does not support the NetBEUI protocol is this still true? Can I force the game to use it's IPX protocol support over the NetBEUI protocol?
Any step-by-step help with explanation why everything is happening and why would be greatly appreciated.
