98SE update killed my network
For a long time I have had a nice simple wireless network with XP Home on
the main box and Win98 on my laptop. Upgraded to 98SE on the laptop and have lost my local network to the XP box. Wireless web TCP/IP works fine. Neither the XP box or the 98SE box can "see" the other computer on the network. All network settings look normal. I did re-run NetSetup on the 98SE box and no luck. Workgroup names are good. Firewalls were temporarily disabled for testing - but no luck. Any ideas? Regards, Frank |

If so, it might have become corrupted during the upgrade process. In that case, don't just disable the firewall program on 98SE. Un-install it, then go to Start | Run | Msconfig | Startup and disable any firewall remnants. If that doesn't solve the problem, delete all of the network components on 98SE and re-install them. -- 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.

98SE update killed my network
Disabled the firewall and other things (anti-virus, etc) BEFORE doing the
upgrade. Still having problems. The SE Network Neighborhood does not even show itself when double-clicking on the desktip icon Net... Neigh... The other laptop and the XP main box do not show the SE laptop. IF I want to reinstall networking, what do you want me to delete and re-install? BTW did a SFC and found no errors.
