I have a desktop pc with Win98 and a laptop with WinXP(Home). I have
the two machines connected with a crossover cable and have set static
IPs on both. The problem is I can map network drives from the XP to
the '98 machine and use the printers connected to the '98 box, but
when I try to access the XP machine from the '98 machine I get an
error ('network not available'). I can ping the XP box but cannot see
it in Network Neighborhood. I have verified that the firewall is
disabled on the XP box and have TCP/IP, File and Print Sharing
installed on both machines. I have a feelig that this is something
simple and I am just not seeing it. HELP please!!!!
