LAN difficulty between Windows 98 & XP
I used the network setup wizard to connect a work group
using one XP, one ME, and 2 Windows 98 computers. XP machine recognizes the individual shared resources and can access them. Other computers do not show any available computers or data in Network Places when XP machine is on. When XP machine is turned off, the other machines recognize each other and work normally in Network Places. How do I configure the computers to allow all 4 to participate fully in the network? |

Try disabling the Computer Browser service on XP: 1. Right click My Computer, and click Manage. 2. Double click Services and Applications. 3. Double click Services. 4. Double click Computer Browser. If the Service status is Started, click Stop. 5. Set the Startup type to Disabled. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
