I am assuming you are have file sharing on comp A turned on. If it is using NTFS, it would not work if you are sharing folders in My documents. You will have to share the whole C drive.
Try disabling and then reenabling the NIC card. Also, you might want to set SSID broadcast on when you are trying to debug the system at this point. I've heard there have been some issues of connection when SSID broadcast is off.
If you don't want to spend that much money, you should get a B wireless router with PC card, assuming you have broadband. They should cost about the same as a cross over cable. It would not be that great on connection but then you are going to use with Win 98 so it should not be too bad. Just...
At what point of the installation does this message come up. Also, does the drive keep spinning (like it is trying to read the disk) when the message comes up?
I am not saying everything would work fine. That might not be the problem. I am saying that XP should not check for ACPI compliancy anymore, but then when I disable my integrated sound XP still loads the drivers. So you never know.
