I have a problem that goes in the same direction.
My LAN consists of a 98 Desktop & an XP Desktop.
The 98 is running a proxy server for obvious reasons (ICS suxx big time).
In the beginning only internet was working for both PC's but they couldn't see eachother
on the LAN. Then I found that I need to specifically enable NetBIOS on the XP machine
and boom it just found all the shares,printers,... just like that ... (uPnP...oops)...
I can access the shares on the 98 machine from XP without a prob, but not the other
way around (no it is not an NTFS issue). Furthermore, I am unable to play games on
the internet from the XP machine AND it is impossible to upload files (e.g. through
ICQ) ...
Ping -> OK
HTTP -> OK
HTTPS -> OK
SMTP -> OK
POP -> OK
Any thoughts, let me know ...
cheers;
Wim
