Cannot network XP on a Win 98 Workgroup
I am trying to add an XP (home addition) laptop to a W98 workgroup. The xp
laptop cannot see the workgroup and the w98 pc's cannot see the xp laptop. I used the network wizard to add the xp laptop to the existing network but cannot establish a connection. I receive the error message the tahe laptop may not have permissions to see the network. Can any one here give me any guidance as to how i might solve this probloem |

Cannot network XP on a Win 98 Workgroup
Someone at work tried the same for my new XP machine, and
it involved changing the network protocol to TCP/IP on all the PC's in the laptop ..... We had to create fixed IP addresses for all the machines but, as we don't have an internet connection at work via the network, this was fairly easy to do. |

Do you have shares setup on each? Are you running NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (Local Area Connection - Properties - TCP/IP - Properties - Advanced - WINS) on each computer? Make sure the browser service is running on the XP computer. Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services. Verify that the Computer Browser, and the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, services both show with Status = Started. On the XP Home computer, make sure that the Guest account is enabled. Enable Guest with Start - Run - "cmd" - type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window. Do any of the computers have a software firewall (ICF / WF, or third party)? If so, you need to configure them for file sharing, by opening ports TCP 139, 445 and UDP 137, 138, 445, by enabling the File and Printer Sharing exception, and / or by identifying the other computers as present in the Local (Trusted) zone. Firewall configurations are a very common cause of (network) browser, and file sharing, problems. Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |
