re: File sharing between Win 98 and Win XP Thursday, January 23, 2003 at 5:00 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jochen Schroer (1 messages posted) At the risk of looking dumb, I still can't get the network to connect. We have two Win XP machines and three Win 98 computers connected to a hub. The xp machines see each other and so do the 98 machines. However none of the XP machines sees or pings a 98 machine and vice versa. We checked workgroups, netbios and TCP settings. The settings appear correct to me. During our attempts to resolve the problem, one of the 98 machines was able to share files with an xp computer. However these settings were erased when I installed the network setup disk that was prepared by XP. Can we re-create the setting? Is there a check list, or some resource we can access? Any help would be much appreciated.
