I have a question about Connect
to a Windows XP or 2000 system with a Windows 95, 98, or Me system over a Network:
I have the following setup:
1. A windows 2000 machine that is set up with Internet connection setting and shares
its cable modem connection.
2. A windows 98 machine.
3. A windows XP laptop.
ICS has been setup correctly on the windows 2000 machine since both the 98 and XP
machines are able to access the Internet.
I think all the machines meet the requirements to share files, although the only
machines which appear in Network Neighborhood/My Network Places are the 98 and XP
machines. The windows 2000 machine does not even show itself in My Network Places,
although file and printer sharing is enabled. I can still enable a resource to be
shared, but the only way I can see it through windows 2000 is to type in the address:
"//computername". The XP and 98 machines do not even see the windows 2000 machine
all though they are able to share files between themselves. I able to ping the 2000
machine from both the XP and 98 machines and vice versa.
I tried setting up user profiles on the 2000 machine, but I am not sure if I did
it correctly, since I still could not see the other machines in My Network Places/Network
Neighborhood.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
