cannot connect from win98 to XP..but othe opposite is true..

[paul dallaire]

HI! My problem is only one way.. I can access from my XP system to my 98 but
not from the 98 to the XP.
I used the Xp setup wizard and made sure that workgroup are the same. I
used the network disk ( created by XP) to configure the 98 machine as
indicated in the XP docs..

I can access all the shared file on the 98 system from my other computer(
winxp). I can see the computer in the win 98 network neighborhood but when I
click on the computer it gives me this error.

"No Permission to access resource"

I created all the shares on the xp and enable this "Share this folder on the
network" and "allow network users to change my files."

Does someone know what I could look for to resolve this problem?


Configuration: below

XP sp1 machine= PII MMX /333
98 sc addition = PI 100
Router 10/100 with firewall.
Internet= DSL modem connected to main in router and other computers are in
other ports on the router.

Thanks in advance

Paul

Paul,

What's the exact text of the error? This particular error could have any of
several causes:
- Insufficient authentication / authorisation.
- Browser problem (the browser lets each computer "see" other computers in
Network Neighborhood).
- Name resolution problem.
- Firewall problem.
- Connectivity problem.

Is the XP system Home or Pro? This makes a difference.

On any XP Pro computer, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel -
Folder Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro,
you need to have SFS properly set on each computer.

On XP Pro with SFS disabled, check the Local Security Policies (Control Panel -
Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".

On XP Pro with SFS disabled, if you set the above Local Security Policy to
"Guest only", enable the Guest account, using Start - Run - "cmd" - type "net
user guest /active:yes" in the command window. If "Classic", setup and use a
common non-Guest account on all computers. Whichever account is used, give it
an identical, non-blank password on all computers.

On XP Home, and on XP Pro with Simple File Sharing enabled, make sure that the
Guest account is enabled, on each computer. Enable Guest, with Start - Run -
"cmd", then type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window. Ensure
that the password for Guest is blank, with Start - Run - "control
userpasswords2"; select Guest, click Reset Password, click OK without entering a
new password.

On XP Pro, if you're going to use Guest authentication, check your Local
Security Policy (Control Panel - Administrative Tools) - User Rights Assignment,
on the XP Pro computer, and look at "Deny access to this computer from the
network". Make sure Guest is not in the list. Look at "Access this computer
from the network", and make sure that Everyone is in this list.

Do any of the computers have a software firewall (ICF / WF, or third party)? If
so, you need to configure them for file sharing. Firewall configurations are a
very common cause of (network) browser, and file sharing, problems.

If no help yet, provide ipconfig information for each computer, and we'll
diagnose the problems.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is
NOT checked!, copy and paste entire contents into your next post.
