Unable to connect Windows 95 machine to a share drive on Windows X

[Guest]

Hello GTS,
Thank you for the information. I update with WINSOCK2 Updates from MICROSOFT
Website and everything is working perfectly fine.
We can close this mail chain at last.
Thank you for your help.

I don't know about that specific version number. Error 53 indicates a name
resolution issue or connectivity issue, the former in your case since you
can map the other way. You might see if you can connect to (initially if
you can ping) the XP box by IP. I rarely see Win 95 anymore and generally
wouldn't recommend using it, though I understand your issue re. an embedded
box. A few other ideas come to mind - There was a significant service pack
for Win 95 that affected various network issues. I'm not sure if it was
before or after your releases. You might look at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/143003/EN-US/
which has some related component version info. Also, you might double check
that you have a correct matching user on the XP box. Sometimes spaces or
lower case letters in Win 9X net names can also cause problems mapping to
XP.

Hello GTS,

It worked as exepected. Thank you for that TWEAKUI tool.

But now I have a different issue.

I have two Windows 95 machines. One version is
4.01.0.971 B
and the other version is
4.00.950 B

According to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;158238
article
4.00.950 B is
OEM Version.

This machine [4.00.950 B] is working perfectly with the NET USE command as
well as AUTOMATIC LOGIN using TWEAKUI tools.

The other version of Windows 95 [4.01.0.971 B], which I don't have any
documentation on Microsoft Web Site, is not working for the NET USE
command.
It's giving Error 53 message [as mentioned in the previous mail] when I
try
to connect to Windows XP machine's share drive.
But Windows XP machine can connect to the share folder on this Windows 95
[4.01.0.971 B] machine without any problem.

I have made the TCP/IP properties of both the Windows 95 machines same
w.r.t. all the GUI available parameters.

Any clue how to connect this Windows 95 [4.01.0.971 B] machine to Windows
XP.

Remember again, Windows 95 [4.00.950 B] machine is working both ways [i.e.
between Windows XP and itself].

As mentioned before, I am using Windows Logon on both the Windows 95
machine.
Windows XP machine is on a DOMAIN.

I have the only problem for connecting this Windows 95 [4.01.0.971 B]
machine to Windows XP.
Please help with any information about this version of Windows.

I don't want to change this Windows 95 [4.01.0.971 B] machine as this is a
preconfigured embedded machine with lot of hardware in a rack for
simulation.
This is working fine except for the share drive connection from this
machine.
But if I share from this machine, then I can connect to it from Windows
XP.

Waiting to hear from you soon.
Thank you.
regards
Pashan

I would roll back that registry change and try using TweakUI's autologon
feature. I know it works the way you want with Windows 98 and suspect it
