Hmmm, Cannot complete the wizard? Are you logged on an account with adminstrator
access? Maybe you need to reinstall your XP network components or reinstall XP.
R U SURE your chosing the right options? NO DOMAIN, make same workgroup as the other
computer, also you should have the TCP/IP protocals installed on each computer and
LAN manager setttings should not be off on each computer. You need an account made
on the XP computer that you would log on to with the 98 computer. AND your tcp/ip
settings should be static if you do not have an DHCP server for your LAN (DHCP server
for ISP do not count), I take it you don't because your using ICS. Meaning do not
use APIPA in XP and do not use "find ip address automatically" in 98.
