PLEASE!! Can somebody help with some advice!!!
Setup: 3 PC's at home, all networked via hub and ADSL router.
PC1 - Windows XP Pro SP2
PC2 & 3 - Windows 98SE
OK, so PC1 has 3 logon names plus the Guest account set. PC2 has 2 of those
3 names, and PC3 only has 1 of them, passwords for the various logons are
the same across the PC's (i.e. #1 on PC1 is the same as #1 on PC2 and #1 on
PC3, #3 on PC1 is the same as #2 on PC2, #1 on PC1 same as #1 on PC3)..
So, from PC1 I can map the shared folders on PC2 & 3, yet I can't see either
PC2 or 3 from the "View Workgroup Computers" option in My Network Places.
On PC2 & 3, however, you can't map the shared folders on PC1 and can't see
PC1 in Network Neighbourhood.
You can ping each PC fine...
IP addresses are in the order 192.168.1.x with the ADSL modem/router playing
DHCP server and default gateway. PC1 has static IP in the above range and
PC2 & 3 are assigned IP by router. All 3 PC's talk to the router and modem
fine, and as I said you can ping each one from each other one. All 3 also
run Zone Alarm Pro and have the PC name of the other PCs listed as Trusted
in the Zones list of the Firewall section. RealPopup also runs on all 3 and
can send messages via the network fine.....
So, what is wrong here?? Any suggestions very much welcomed!
