"Lisa said:I have similar question.
I ran Network Setup Wizard on both machines.
Some more info.............
They do have different names and same workgroup name.
I can right click on a folder in win 98, select share and I can see/access
said folder on win xp computer.
Network Places shows all it should on win xp computer now. shared docs on
both computers, shared docs on win xp computer.
But I'm not sure win 98 is recognising win xp computer.
I searched for computers and found the xp computer in an "unknown" location
But Network Neighborhood on win 98 maching says "Entire Network" and denies
me access.
Right clicking on Network on win 98 yields
File & Printer Sharing for MS Networks
client for MS Networks

Efficient Networks PPPoE Adapter NTSP3
Realtek RTL8029 AS PCI Fast Ethernet NIC

NetBEUI>>Realtek RTL8029 AS PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
TCP/IP Dial Up Adapter

TCP/IP>>Realtek RTL8029 AS PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
Do I need all that???
There is an Internet Gateway icon showing I'm connected in my taskbar on the
win 98 computer too.
The xp computer has 2 Network Connections
1) Internet Gateway...Internet connection (the shared internet
connection using the router, I'm presuming)
2) Local Area Connection....
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC....IP
192.168.0.100...subnet 255.255.255.0...
client for MS Networks,
Zero Knowledge Freedom (antivirus),
File & Printer Sharing for MS Networks,
QoS Packet Scheduler (?), and
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) all checked
Any suggestions?

You've given a great description of the network setup, Lisa, and I
think that you're close to having everything work.
Remove the NetBEUI entries from the win 98 machine. TCP/IP is the
only protocol that you need, and using more than one protocol can make
a Windows network unreliable.
Yes, the Internet Gateway is your router. Clicking that icon lets you
monitor and control the router's operation.
What happens if you type the XP computer's name in the Start | Run box
on the win 98 computer in this form:
\\computer
If it shows you the XP computer's shared disks/folders, then all is
well. If it says that the network isn't available, the problem is
probably that the user isn't logged on. Is there a logon prompt when
win 98 starts? If so, don't cancel it. Complete the logon by
entering a user name and, optionally, a password. If there's no logon
prompt, click Start | Log Off and log back on. If that makes network
browsing work properly, the most likely fix is to go to this registry
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Network\Real Mode Net
and delete the value named "AutoLogon", as shown here:

on the win 98 computer in this form:
\\computer
"Lisa said:I got an error message "our-computer" not accessible...not logged on"
There is a logon prompt "Microsoft Networking" when win 98 boots up. I've
always just hit Esc
Hetherington (our last name) is the default user name
Password field is blank
What user name/pw do I use?
the 98 computer name is kids
the xp computer name is our-computer
the workgroup anme is MSHOME
I haven't assigned any passwords to anything
