I have a win98 machine and a win95 laptop, no ideal. The two os's handle things differently, on one machine the other would come up as an entry in explorer but on the other there was a window through which transfers were done. I had trouble getting an IR header for the desktop, and then it only supported 115k2 (sir), whereas the laptop (dell) was capable of 4meg (fir), finally got an ethernet card for the pc, miles better ! Sorry I cant be of more help, if i think of anything i will post.
