W2K-Win98 Networking
I have a win98 system hooked up to win2k system and want
to share files and folders. I am logged on as the administrator on both machines(no password). When I go into My Network Places on the win2k machine I have no problem seeing my win98 shares, but when I go into Network Neighborhood on my win98 system to view my win2k shares, none of them appear(share permission-Everyone). I am able to ping either machine from the other. Connectivity does not appear to be the issue. Do I need to install an additional networking component? |

Thank you BobC. But why would it be necessary for me to
create an identical account on both machines and log onto the win98 with that account. My experience has been that two machines hooked up as a workgroup doesn't require this? Could you possibly elaborate on why the systems should need matching accounts for shares to work both ways? -----Original Message----- On Sat, 17 Jul 2004 16:15:43 -0700, Win2k to Win98 Share-- I can't wrote: I have a win98 system hooked up to win2k system and want to share files and folders.

Because unlike win98, win2k is a networking operating system and therefore needs to know the credentials of anyone wanting to connect to it. In a domain environment the credentials are provided by a server. In a workgroup environment like you have there is no server managing user accounts. So the only place the win2k can determine the credentials is from the computer making the connection to it. These credentials must be present on the win2k computer. Alternatively you could enable a guest account. This is not recommended because guest accounts are not secure. . No password does not satify the requirement for a paswword. |

Shouldn't two machines that are both logged onto with the
administrator account be able to access an Everyone share on another system? -----Original Message----- On Sat, 17 Jul 2004 18:08:05 -0700, Thank you BobC wrote: Of course.

W2K-Win98 Networking
Hi:
I have a Win2000Server-SP2 and almost 30 clients connected using XP, Me, 98 and 95. I'm facing a problem with Win98 and Win 95 clients. These clients canĀ“t see all folders have been shared by our server. For example, actually server is sharing a folder called USERS and inside of it, there is 30 folders, and these computers cant see some of them. Any idea?
