XP to Win98 network problem

XP to Win98 network problem
On Mon, 4 Feb 2008 15:53:32 -0000, "Susan" wrote: Done it. Added NETBEUI protocol and it now works. (NETBEUI had to be installed on both win98 computers for those to network.) It seems a bit slow! They now share files and printers but not the internet connection. That's because NetBEUI is but tcp/ip isn't configured properly (yet). If tcp/ip is configured properly you won't need NetBEUI. I would advise you to follow the recommendations of Steve Winograd and don't use it. Jim. |

I removed all NETBEUI protocols. ZoneAlarm was blocking access. Setting Internet and Trusted zones to low(off) allows it to work. Adding the XP "Sues" to the trusted zone in zonealarm (Firewall/Zones) allows it to work with High and Medium settings. I still can't get access to the internet from the XP via the Win98 dial-up modem. Trying to access with Outlook Express gives the error message "The host mail.btinternet.com could not be found...."

XP to Win98 network problem
Ah sorry Steve, not challenging you or anything, but you indicate XP's
firewall is enough. It doesn't appear to be: http://www.firewallleaktester.com/index.html There are several other testing sites that rank XP's firewall poorly on their lists as well. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com _________ "Steve Winograd" wrote in message ... | On Wed, 6 Feb 2008 15:31:48 -0000, "Susan" | wrote: | Both Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows XP can share their dial-up | modem connection with another computer on the local network using | Internet Connection Sharing.
