adding WinXp pc to Win98 network
I have also noticed that while I can view the properties of all the other
Win98 pcs when I attempt to see the properties of the central PC I get the message "the server does not accept remote requests". However I can view its properties from the win98 pcs. So presumably WinXP must be formulating its request in a way which is different to that used by the win98 pcs. "gadya" wrote: gadya wrote: No: I can see the shared files on all the PCs bar one.

adding WinXp pc to Win98 network
The problem has been resolved. Thanks for your help. The problem was discovered to be caused by a half-uninstalled Norton Internet Security on the central Win98 pc. This prevented the WinXP pc from seeing the Win98 file shares on it but they could be seen by other Win98pcs. NIS could not be removed so it was reactivated, but without the security set, so that it did nothing. That's it. |
