Network with Windows XP and 2000 Pro
I have read through several posts and some are similar to my question, but
not exactly. I have 2 computers one with Windows XP and the other is a dual boot with Windows 2000 Pro and 98 SE. I set up a wirless PCI card in the dual boot computer and the XP machine is hard wired to the router. I first booted into Windows 2000 and setup the card. Once done, I went to network neighborhood and I could see the XP machine. I went to the XP machine and I could see the 2000 Pro system. So, that was a good thing! After, I rebooted into 98SE. I set up the card the same way and connected to the network sucessfully. I went to Network Neighborhood, but could not see the XP machine. I went to the XP machine and could not see the 98SE. So, that was not a good thing! Is there something in 98 that I must set that is not necessary to do in 2000? Is it because 98 cannot see NTFS file systems, and that is why 98 cannot see XP? But, if that were the case XP should still be able to see 98. Thanks! |

The file system has nothing to do with it.

WOW Carey! I read through some of the tips, you have a fantastic site.
Unfortunately, I'm not at the computer now, but I will try the tips later and post back. Thanks a bunch! "Carey Holzman" wrote: The file system has nothing to do with it.

All versions of Windows can read/write their own disks and make them available to all other versions over the network. Is there a firewall program (ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security, PCCillin, etc) on the Windows 98 SE system? If so, make sure that it's configured to allow access by other computers on the network. Make sure that the Windows 98 SE system has TCP/IP as the only installed network protocol. Go to Control Panel | Network and remove IPX/SPX and NetBEUI if they're installed. Using more than one protocol, on even one computer, can prevent network browsing from working properly, especially when XP is involved. There's a lot of misinformation about this in news groups and on the Internet. It can take several minutes after a computer connects to the network before it can see other computer and be seen in Network Neighborhood or My Network Places.

Network with Windows XP and 2000 Pro
Thanks Steve! Because the 2000 machine was found very quickly by the XP
machine, I assumed the same would be true between the XP and 98 machine. I didn't think to manually try and find the 98 machine with the //[machine name] syntax. Also, I am pretty certain that the 98 machine has TCP/IP and NetBEUI protocals enabled. While on this subject, do you mean that ONLY TCP/IP should be enabled on ALL computers in the network (5)? Finally, I have no firewalls on any individual machine. They are only behind the built-in firewall of the router. Thanks!
