re: Question about 'Connect to a Windows XP or 2000 system with a Windows 95, 98, or Me system over a Network' Thursday, January 31, 2002 at 3:55 pm Posted by bill (383 messages posted) Does your dsl provider allow for multiple IP's to your site. 192...... is a private address usually used for in house networks. I think your going to need a router.
