Default Half a network

This network once worked, but I had to reformat system B

system A Win xp
system B Win 98 and DSL connection
system C Win 98

All are set to workgroup mshome. DSL works on system B

A can see C but not B
B can see C but not A
C can see A and B

Any suggestions on how to make A and B see each other?

Thanx

Don

Default Half a network

On the Win9X machines, add the "Client for Microsoft Networks"

(this causes a request for name and password on restart)

Enter any ID and password you like

(also, with Windows Logon, it will use the windows ID and password)

On the XP machine, add that user and password using

the "User Accounts" applet in XP Control Panel.


Be sure you enable sharing as usual on both
