Add IPX protocol - don't know why it solves the problem but it does.

Hi Chuck, Thanks for your message. I have turned on the Guest Account for both computers. They were both inactive. I checked the Browser service and this was active on both computers. I have a firewall on the new Pentium 4 3:00 GHz computer. I'm running McAfee Firewall Network filter which is checked in the Local Area Connection Properties Box.

How do you reconfigure your ports in Windows XP? Appreciate your help. Thanks, Chuck. Bob Hi Bob, You have three possible problems: - File sharing - ICF (SP2 version) - McAfee PF I would suggest you start by disabling both ICF and McAfee, until you get file sharing (Guest accounts etc) working otherwise. Then enable ICF, and configure it. Finally, enable MPF, and configure it. Work on, and resolve, one problem at a time. WRT configuring ICF and MPF, you may want to consult the documentation for each. I don't have access to my SP2 test computer right now. And I've not yet tested MPF, so I can't say with authority how you configure that either. I simply know from experience that personal firewalls have to be configured so other computers on the Local LAN segment are trusted. But you should not open the required ports, to enable file sharing, for all computers. Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

Well, I had some partial success. The newer Pentium
computer finally reconized the older AMD Athlon on the network and I could access it successfully. The AMD Athlon, however, still comes up with the Access Denied message. I did a complete reformat of the HD on the AMD Athlon today and set up the protocols, the same as was on the newer Pentium. The Pentium is running Service Pack 2 while the AMD Athlon remains with Microsoft Service Pack 1. Not sure where the problem is. Firewall on the Pentium blocking the AMD Athlon or something in the AMD Athlon not wanting to connect through to the newer computer. Partial success is better than no success at all.

In XP you have to choose which folders, printers, files to share on each computer. Right click on each drive or folder you want to share and pick Sharing and Security. You'll love XP once you get the hang of it. It's just more secure than W98 and nowadays
Security is needed. "Bob" wrote: I have trying for six weeks to set up a network through a Linksys hub with two computers using Windows XP Home Edition. I formerly used Windows 98 SE without a hitch.

I'm also running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Beta) which has its own new firewall that you can manually manage. This by the way, was just installed. How do you access the local trusted zone in XP? I assume through the Control Panel Internet Options however I haven't found what I need there. The other option is to open the various ports you mentioned. How do you reconfigure your ports in Windows XP? Appreciate your help. Thanks, Chuck. Bob |

Hi Chuck, Thanks for your message. I have turned on the Guest Account for both computers. They were both inactive. I checked the Browser service and this was active on both computers.

Bob Hi Bob, You have three possible problems: - File sharing - ICF (SP2 version) - McAfee PF I would suggest you start by disabling both ICF and McAfee, until you get file sharing (Guest accounts etc) working otherwise. Then enable ICF, and configure it. Finally, enable MPF, and configure it. Work on, and resolve, one problem at a time. WRT configuring ICF and MPF, you may want to consult the documentation for each. I don't have access to my SP2 test computer right now. And I've not yet tested MPF, so I can't say with authority how you configure that either. I simply know from experience that personal firewalls have to be configured so other computers on the Local LAN segment are trusted. But you should not open the required ports, to enable file sharing, for all computers. Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

Add IPX protocol - don't know why it solves the problem but it does.

Well, I had some partial success. The newer Pentium
computer finally reconized the older AMD Athlon on the network and I could access it successfully. The AMD Athlon, however, still comes up with the Access Denied message. I did a complete reformat of the HD on the AMD Athlon today and set up the protocols, the same as was on the newer Pentium. The Pentium is running Service Pack 2 while the AMD Athlon remains with Microsoft Service Pack 1. Not sure where the problem is. Firewall on the Pentium blocking the AMD Athlon or something in the AMD Athlon not wanting to connect through to the newer computer. Partial success is better than no success at all.

In XP you have to choose which folders, printers, files to share on each computer. Right click on each drive or folder you want to share and pick Sharing and Security. You'll love XP once you get the hang of it. It's just more secure than W98 and nowadays
Security is needed. "Bob" wrote: I have trying for six weeks to set up a network through a Linksys hub with two computers using Windows XP Home Edition. I formerly used Windows 98 SE without a hitch.
