WIN XP can't see WIN 98 on network
We a simple network. 1 xp pro PC and one win 98 PC. Both can
see each other on shared resources and have worked OK for ages.. Now we added a new XP pro PC to the network but this new XP Pro PC cannot see the win98 pc at all on shared resources. Yet the win 98 can easily browse the new XP Pro PC. Thanks Richard |

Thanks Richard Try accessing the win 98 on the new xp pro by typing the 98 computer's name in the Start | Run box in this format: \\computer Try opening My Network Places, clicking "Add a network place", and browsing to a shared disk or folder on win 98. -- 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.
