Trying to Network a XP original converted to Vista to older 98's
Hi, My father against my advice loaded Vista in his XP. I'm the type of
Microsoft supporter that says let everyone else deal with the bugs I'll buy it when the next version comes out. Well, he of course didn't listen to me and now is flying me up from Central California to Washington to find out why his now Vista machine can't print or see the other 98 machines. My first question is will Vista even see 98's. I haven't read anything that indicates this is possible. He has legacy systems he needs to keep up on his 98 for his Amateur Radio support system. He manages an antenna for this organization. Can you let me know if we can network to 98's with a vista... I have to fly up in a few weeks, so I'll be checking what you all have to say. Thank you.

Thank you Robert, I'm not up there yet so I can't do anything till I
arrive. I wanted to be sure this was doable or prepare myself to back Vista out. Thank you for the information and I will do more research on that. Very much appreciated.
