Question about 'Connect to a Windows XP or 2000 system with a Windows 95, 98, or Me system over a Network' Tuesday, March 5, 2002 at 12:52 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve Niechcial (1 messages posted) I have a Windows 98 linked to an XP Home machine via a hub. The XP machine is showing 'connected' with packets being sent but none received. However neither machine is showing the the other in the list of computers connected. I have been through all the suggestions listed, eg removing firewall in XP, ensuring that the same network components are set up on each machine, file sharing enabled etc. The only suggestion I have not been able to follow is setting up the same network name and password for each machine. This is because when I set up the Network for 98 I left the password blank. Now when I try and put one in using passords on control panel , the relevant button is greryed out so I can't put anything in. As I have only 2 machines does one need to be host and the other guest, or does that apply only to direct cable connections?Any help much appreciated.
