Networking XP and W98
My W98se machines are having a hard time seeing the shared folders on an
XP-Pro machine. From the W98se, I'm logged in as UserA, password xyz. This same account and password exist on the XP box. If a search the the N'hood for the XP, I find it, I can see all the the appropriate folders and files and I can create, but NOT write documents. But I can't see (it's blank) any text or other data contained in any of the XP files. That's via the N'hood! If I map a drive to the same XP folder I can see folders and files, and I can create and edit them, no problem. I have two generations of PCs in this office, all running W98se and all with identical N'hood properties (I need to double check this statement before I bet money on it. They're, at least, close). The GenerationOne PCs are 4 years old, the GenerationTwo's are two years old. All of the GenerationTwo's work fine, that is, I only need browse the N'hood to obtain full access to the files I have appropriate rights to. All of the GenerationOne PCs require that I map a drive in order to get full access. Both Generations One and Two are both up to date patchwise. Any clues or suggestions? |

Please clarify Ron: If you browse through the Net N'hood, you can see the files, but when you attempt to open them, you get a blank document and no error is produced. Right? Sounds like it *might* be a permissions issue, but you should get an error. :-\ -- Mark E. Adams, 2004 -- drop the "dot" to email me. CONSIDER: ===========---------,,,,,,,,,............. . . . . .

I thought is was permissions, too. But when I map a drive to the target folder, same PC, same session, same user, everything works. I can write, read, edit, save, and delete. Why the difference between mapping and using the N'hood? |
