My setup is also exactly the same, except without the router. What I did was set-up a peer-to-peer network. Then, on the winXP box, right click on "Network Places", go into the properties of the nic, go into advanced, and click on the box to enable internet connection sharing. run through the wizard. then, on the win98 machine, reset the tcp/ip to obtain automatically. reboot the machine and run through the wizard. That's what I did, good luck On Friday, February 8, 2002 at 5:06 am, Don Squires wrote: >I have a home network with two computers at present. The host is >running XP; the client is running 98SE.

I can access any Internet site via both computers but I don't remember the steps I went through to get that to happen. OTOH, my XP Pro PC is unable to see the shared drives on my old Win98SE PC using workgroup computing. My Xp Pro PC also got an access violation in spoolsv.exe while trying to setup my workgroup again over my existing workgroup. Could this be related to the reason why Xp Pro can't see the Win98SE's shares?

After installing sharing - right click each drive you want to give access to and choose sharing.

TIP #26: Why do I receive this error message: “\\MainPC\Main-C ( C ) in not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.” Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT all have an IRPStackSize value that controls how much physical storage space and RAM are available to new applications, and some new software installs incorrectly set this value. This value ranges from 11 to 20 for XP and from 11 to 15 for Win2K and NT. If you set this value to less than 11, you'll receive an error message indicating that the system doesn't have enough server storage. As a result, clients won't be able to access network shares and Event ID 2011 will appear in the System log. To set the IRPStackSize back to the default (15 for XP, 11 for NT), perform the following steps: 1. Start the registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe). 2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services \lanmanserver\parameters. 3. Double-click IRPStackSize (or if this registry setting doesn't exist, create it of type DWORD and ensure the case is correct). 4. Change the base to decimal, set the value to 11 for Win2K or NT or 15 for XP, and click OK. 5. Reboot the computer.

I now disable it when I'm about to log on with my laptop (Win98). After I transfer files etc. I enable it again. This solved the problem for me. It reoccured once since but I believe my isp was down as well, so maybe that had an impact.

I have this REALLY strange problem, i have a computer using XP Pro, and a laptop using Win 98SE. I can find the respective computer if i search for them in the "search for computer" feature. But i cant find the computers in the "my network" or using the explorer and browse to microsoft network, infact i cant find anything, not even the computer i use at the time. To be able to share files i have to use the "connect network adapter" in the file explorer. Anyone knows what might cause this problem? They both are connected to a router which are connected to the web via a ADSL modem. I have added the IPs to both computers firewalls (zonealarm and NIS).

In the end, it was the recent upgrade of zone alarm that did it to me. I'm waiting for a response from za, and if necessary, I'll roll it back to a previous version of za. My current version that's blocking ics is ZA v.3.7. I've always used ZA with ICS without fail.

Two PC's running XP Pro connected via Linksys Router to a DSL modem. Shared Internet access was fine but could not share files between PC's. Had to do two things: 1. Disable Firewall on both Network connections. 2. Click on "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" in WINS tab of Advanced TCP/IP Settings. Of course, this is not a very secure arrangement so I will have to come up with an alternate configuration. But if you need to copy files over the two XP machines this should do the trick.

Deinstalling the firewall, modifying the registry and any other suggested solutions on the web didn't solved the problem. Finally, i succeeded just by terminating the spooler during the local network configuration (open a command window and enter the command NET STOP SPOOLER and after the configuration is completed either reboot the PC or make NET START SPOOLER).

Uninstalled ZoneAlarm Pro Suite, BINGO! Works now!!! So if you have upgraded ZA try removing it. Worked for me after weeks of not being able to share between my machines. One machine still has ZA Pro Suite on it and it is OK. The machine that I removed ZA from was XP Pro, the other XP Home. I don't know if that made a difference or not but it worked for me! I may not have had some setting in ZA set right, but both were set up the same as far as I know.

One is the spoolsv.exe access violation - in my case caused by having too many extra services running - in particular "FREEMem", which runs in the background. I turned it off and got past the crash in the network config. But things still didn't work. The computers could not find each other even though they were in the same workgroup. Finally, I realized that the LAN configuration was the second problem. By going into the LAN properties, and surrepetitiously selecting INSTALL then clicking on PROTOCOL, and one at a time choosing them all I got the right protocols. There is another thread on this same site that addresses the second problem. I dont know if I should blame Microsoft or DLink (My wireless router). It looks to me to be a Microsoft bug - shouldnt the default be "all protocols", and then let people experiment with removing the ones they think they dont need? The two protocols needed are (of course) TCP/IP and NETBIOS. On Wednesday, July 16, 2003 at 5:01 pm, George B. wrote: >I tried this fix but it didn't help. I have 4 computers.

I am a MS XP SP2 tech, and I found this forum while doing research for a client of mine with the same problem. While this forum didn't solve his problem, the Visual KB we have sorta did. What he did before calling me was uninstall Norton Internet Security, which got rid of his software firewall. Then, we got that Print Spool service error (exact one everyone else had) when in the midst of running the Network Setup Wizard. So I had him right-click My Computer and click Manage..., then open Services & Applications, then click Services. In the Services window, click Print Spooler service and STOP it. Then, run the Network Setup Wizard to start file & printer sharing. It should give no errrors. Now you should be able to go into My Network Places and access the other computer's shared files. After you have setup access to the shared network resources, go back to the system management place for Services, and START the Print Spooler service again. It took me almost two hours to figure that out, but it worked for my client. Hope it works for y'all, too!

Articles 324757/810894 do not resolve the problem and send novice users into the registry. Instead download the utility posted by Brother Ltd which repairs the spooler: http://global.solutions.brother.com/Library/en_us/faq/faq000539_000/index.html > > On Tuesday, February 18, 2003 at 8:17 pm, phil wrote: >I have the same set up, and had a working home network.
