    Oh and I do have a 98 Second Edition CD at home but was afraid to try and install it, of course since my drive is not working properly I propably would not be able to that anyway.

    Than being said you can create a local network using a switch. This would allow the PCs to share resources. You would have to manually assign your IPs since you won't have a DHCP server. You can also share the Internet, but the PC that will do the dialing has to be running some Internet sharing or proxy software (like ICS) and the other machines need to be set up as clients. Also that PC that acts as the modem server will need to be on all the time.
    Thanks Scott, I assume that answer was to me. So it doesn't matter the two operating systems are different format?

    It shouldn't. I've had different versions on the same network sharing resources.
