I am trying to set up two computers networked. I did it once but somehow
messed it up.
WinXPpro SP1
I ran the Networking Setup Wizard and created a networking disk for Win98.
Win98se
I ran the network setup program from the floppy drive.
They are connected via Ethernet connections. The connections show green
lights on the Ethernet switch and on the cards.
I am connected to the Internet on the WinXP machine using a dialup adapter
(modem) and can access the Internet on the Win98 machine using the network
connection.
When I go to my Network Places on the WinXP machine I can see the network
name under Microsoft Windows Networks but am not allowed access to it. When
I double-click on it the computer times out for a while and then gives me an
error message:
Microsoft Windows Network
NetworkName is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.
When I go to Network Neighborhood on the Win98 machine I can get through the
network and can see the XP machine (it is listed) but can't access it. When
I double click on the name, I get the following error message:
Network Neighborhood
\\WinXP is not accessible.
The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it
correctly and try again.
On the WinXP machine under Network Connections it shows a Local Area
Connection as Enabled. The Status is Connected.
Properties:
Connect using: Intel(R) PRO/100+ PCI Adapter
This connection uses the following items: (all checked)
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
TIA for any guidance you can provide.
