XP/98 Network
Can someone give me a quick lesson in linking together an
XP machine with a 98 machine to create a small workgroup that can share printers and files? I'm okay with two 98 machines, but I hear that XP is pretty awkward to set up? Like I say, I'd be grateful for the basics and/or a decent link to a good website. Thanks in advance! |

XP/98 Network
quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
Win9x can't see Win2000/XP By default, Win2000/XP disables NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) for selected clients. In a peer-to-peer network without WINS, Win9x will be unable to browse, locate, or create file and print share connections to a Windows 2000 computer with NetBIOS disabled. So, you must setup the Win2000/XP to uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP to communicate with prior versions of Windows NT and other clients, such as Microsoft Windows 95. Alternatively, you may want to add NetBEUI on all workstations in the peer-to-peer network. -- For more and other information, go to http://www.ChicagoTech.net Don't send e-mail or reply to me except you need consulting services.
