98 First Edition pc to XP SP2 pc - Ain't workin'!
Hey there guys, I've asked a few questions here before and had excellent
results, so here I go again... I've had a network with 2 XP SP2 computers for a while now, and everything is great, Internet-file sharing all work great. A friend of mine has a computer in the back room, and he's never upgraded from Win98, the first edition. I had an extra network card, a NetGear FA311, and we installed it and connected his machine to the router. Nothing I've tried is working. Although I can for some reason see his computer in the workgroup, I can't access it and his can't see or access either of these computers or the internet. I've checked probably 20-30 sites for info on 98 networking to XP and everyone says configuring through a LAN is fine and easy. I really am at my wits end with this, I've been fiddling all day and this room is 101 degrees hot now. :P I'd appreciate any guidance on setting up the network on the 98 side, how the Network settings window should appear and with what things in the window. Thanks a lot, look forward to some much-needed help! |
