Seeing each other
I have a small home network and for some reason, I cannot get the 98se
computer to actually become part of the network. I go through all the configurations, but no other computer can see it and it cannot see them. They are xp machines. What is the trick of making this work? -- Steven There are two secrets to success in life 1) Never tell people everything you know

Steven:
You need use one of the XP machines to create a setup floppy for use in the '98 computer You should given the option to this when you while running the Network Setup Wizard on an XP computer. You then use the floppy to setup the 98 computer on the network using the "gateway" option. Let us know if you have done this and what happened. Mike " Wondering" wrote in message ...

Mike It's OK to run XP's Network Setup Wizard on the Win 98 computer, and it might get everything to work. Try it and see. But it isn't necessary, despite what the Wizard tells you, to run XP's Wizard on other computers. You can make all the Win 98 network settings manually. The key to Windows networking is to use the same, single network protocol on all computers. In almost all cases, TCP/IP is the best choice. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
