XP SP2 and 98SE Network
I just recently purchased a new computer with Windows XP
SP2 and connected it to my Microsoft MN-100 wired router using a cable modem to connect to the internet. I then connected my old computer, which uses Windows 98 SE, to the router as well. I can connect to the internet on both machines, check e-mail using Outlook Express and each can function fine. I shared the entire C:\ on the 98SE computer in an effort to copy some files to the new XP computer. In My Network Places on the XP, I can see the C:\ of the 98SE, and I transferred the files over to the XP. However, when I share a directory on the XP computer, I cannot "see" it on the 98SE computer. When I attempt to Find Computer or Files on the 98SE, the computer takes a very long time and then returns with No Files Found. Also, the 98SE does not "see" the new Epson Photo Printer that I just installed on the new XP computer. The 98SE will be located in my son's room, and I suppose he could just save his work and then go to the XP computer to copy, and or print it, but I would like to try and fix it. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to resolve these two issues? |

Since the 98SE computer can't see the XP machine at all, I don't think that this is a permission problem. A permission problem would prompt for the IPC$ password or give an "access denied" message. Make sure that a firewall on the XP machine isn't blocking access from 98SE. If you've installed a firewall program (Norton, McAfee, ZoneAlarm, Trend Micro, McAfee, etc), configure it to allow access on the local area network, and disable SP2's built-in Windows Firewall. If you haven't installed a firewall program, configure the Windows Firewall to allow file sharing. Make sure that the shared disks, folders, and printers on XP have share names that aren't longer than 12 characters. -- 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.
