I had 2 systems running w95 conneced peer to peer thru a
miniport. One of the systems crashed. I have a new P4
running XP. I have both systems set up the same but they
will not see each other so that I can map the drives to
share files, or share printers.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Jim

NetBIOS and WINS are required in a mixed network
NetBIOS and WINS name resolution is required only on mixed-mode (Windows 95,
98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP) networks to provide backward-compatibility older
versions of Windows. If you have a domain mixed-mode network with DHCP and
DNS, you are better to cerate WINS in your system. In workgroup mixed-mode
network, most people enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP to resolve NetBIOS name to
equivalent to IP addresses. Alternatively, you can install NetBEUI protocol
in the clients.
