re: Question about 'Connect to a Windows XP or 2000 system with a Windows 95, 98, or Me system over a Network' Wednesday, April 23, 2003 at 4:14 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Darkinspiration (1 messages posted) Microsoft utilise netbios as a way for two computer to talk and see each other on a network. Netbios is not like tcp/ip where each computer is designated an unique ip adress on the network instead it uses socket number and distinct name. Because of this it cannot pass trought a router. now i'm not sure if your network is using the router as a way to connect to the internet or if you are using the routeur to separate the two machine. In the later case you will never be able to see the other computer but you should be able to use the internet. If your routeur is connected by wan at a broad band modem and the other computer inside the network are in lan then you should try enabling file sharing on both the machines. if that dosent work you can always use the networking disk that is created using the winxp cdrom on your win98 machine aldo i find this solution to be lacking. Also make sure that both your computer are in the same workgroup and that win98 is uptodate with the latest upgrade.
