re: Question about 'Connect to a Windows XP or 2000 system with a Windows 95, 98, or Me system over a Network' Wednesday, September 4, 2002 at 12:28 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bert (1 messages posted) Hi, It took me 3 days to figure this out, but it works for us. We have a mixed network of W98 and XP (10 pcs). In the 98 pcs: goto the network settings in configuration screen, and activate the 'files and printer sharing for windows networks' for the TCP/IP protocol. Normally it's unflagged. Then in the XP unflag the IPX protocol (if it's installed). Don't install or use netbui. Hope this helps. It's to simple to be true. It worked just fine for us. Finally.
