network setup wizard

Question

hello forum, i have a question i lost my recovery cd that came with the computer i have already ordered one but its going to take a while to recieve it. i have two computers at home and i had to reformat the one of the computer that is running windows 98, i need to run the network setup wizard on that computer in order to have them configured to share internet and files. my problem is that i don't have a floppy disk drive to create a floppy with the network setup wizard in my dell system running windows xp but i do have a cd burner. i was wondering what can i do to get the network set up wizard on a cd or where can i download the network setup wizard because i cannot find it on the c: drive even though i can run it. i would appreciate some pointers thank you,

The network setup wizard usually messes things up anyway.  Try setting the network up manually using the tutorial at the following site: http://www.homenethelp.com Steve

This is obviously after the fact, but for future readers, XP network setup wizard will recognize a USB Memory Key (Jump Drive) that is plugged in as an alternative to saving to the floppy drive.  You can then plug the USB drive into your desktop and run the setup file from there.  (Note: You might need to download and install a USB Drive driver on W98 in order for it to recognize the USB drive.)
