re: File sharing between Win 98 and Win XP Friday, May 27, 2005 at 1:40 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Chuck Hybarger (3 messages posted) Thanks to everyone that posted answers. I'm almost there. Have a mixture of Win98 SE and WinXP Pro. I have one WinXP Pro and one Win98 SE computer that no other computer can share a folder on, even though all the computers (even the 2 hold-outs) can share folders on the other 9 machines no matter what the operating system. The machines that will not share can be seen in Network Places/Neighborhood but when I try to map a drive or add a network place I get the message: \\[computername] is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource (etc., etc.). The network path was not found. I also can not ping the two computers by IP Address even though they are on the same hub as the machines that will share. (Times out.) The commands net view \\[IP Address] and net view \\[computer name] give the error: System error 53 has occurred The network path was not found They are all in the same Workgroup I am running NetBIOS over TCP/IP We use non-blank passwords to login to computers but use blank passwords for the share folders. IP Address is assigned by DHCP server/router I enabled File and Printer Sharing I unchecked Qos Packet Scheduler Share Names have less than 8 characters I have tried to map drives, didn't work I have disabled all Norton firewalls and anti-virus I have disabled TCP/IP Packet Filtering I have not tried LMHOSTS or messed with the Registry. Any ideas ? Thanks, Chuck On Sunday, September 7, 2003 at 5:06 am, George Martin wrote: >THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >BRILLIANT - I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE SOLUTION TO THIS FOR AGES.
