"sharing" contextual menu won't appear
I am trying to set up my PC running Win98 to be accessible by another
computer via a wireless network. It has worked before but I recently reformatted c: and now I can't get it to work. I have selected "Client for Microsoft Networks" in the Network control panel and checked "I want to be able to give others access to my files" in the dialogue box. The PC asks to reboot and then looks for several files on my Win98SE installation CD (or anywhere) and cannot find them, including vserver.vxd and nwserver.vxd. When I restart, an error msg comes up stating that the vserver.vxd file cannot be found and some device nmay not work properly. Most conspicuous is the fact that there is no "share as" option in the contextual menu for folders. Please tell me what step I have missed. It may be something in Windows Setup which I have not checked but should be checked. |

Unless you install the files that the network setup wizard is asking for you
won't get your network working nor will you be able to share folders. See if you have several dozen files with names ending in the letters CAB on your hard drive - if so, when the installer asks for your Windows 98 CD tell it to look where these CAB files are located instead. -- Richard G.
