Peer-to-peer networking problems
I am an IT analyst at a medium sized company. I have a
peer-to-peer network setup consisting mostly of Win 98 machines but there are a few Win XP machines. There are two issues that I would like to get a little help with if possible. 1. Sometimes on the Win 98 machines, when you open network neighborhood the screen is blank and the flashlight sits there and searches for a long time. If you leave it long enough it eventually finds the computers. What is causing it to be so slow? 2. On the Win Xp machines when you try to view Network Places or Entire Network it does not show all computers. One fix I have found to this is to go into the properties of the NIC card and change media type to 10 base t full duplex or change it to 100 base t full duplex. However this is not working for me right now. Are there any known issues with networking between 98 and XP? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you. |

away for more than 15 minutes? Does browsing work correctly then? -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.
