Windows XP has a built-in Network Setup
Wizard that
makes it easy to configure networking on computers running
Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows
Millennium Edition, and
Windows XP. The Wizard
does not work on computers running
Windows 95,
Windows NT, or
Windows
2000. The Wizard can perform these tasks on a Windows XP computer:
- Set up the computer as an Internet Connection Sharing
server, which shares its Internet connection with other networked computers.
- Set up the computer as an Internet Connection Sharing
client, which accesses the Internet through another computer.
- Create a bridge between two or more network connections, combining them
into a single logical connection.
- Create a floppy disk containing the Wizard files so that the Wizard can
run on another computer.
