I am attempting to Network a Windows XP machine and a Windows 98 machine together. I am connecting to the Internet through a Router that has a built in 4 port switch. I have run the Windows XP Network Setup Wizard, I have checked that both computersbelong to the same Workgroup, both computers have different names, and the Windows 98 machine has IPX/SPX & Netbeui installed with File and Print sharing checked. Also on the 98 machine under Access Control I have Share level access control checked.
When I open My Network places on the 98 machine, I click on Entire Network and get the following error message:
Unable to browse the network.
Windows is unable to access the network. This may be for a number of reasons.
For more information click help.
After clicking on help I have run the Trouble shooter a few times.
On the XP machine, when I open My Network Places, I see Local Network, and my hard drive listed below. On the left hand side I click on View Workgroup Computers, then I see my XP & 98 machine listed. However, when I click on my 98 machine I get the following error message Toshiba unaccessable. You might not have permission to use this Network resource. Contact the adminstrator of this server to find out if you have access permission. The network path was not found.
I have been following the directions from Linksys http://kb.linksys.com/cgi-bin/om_isapi.dll…KW_ENU_JDocView
So I hope there is someone out there that knows something about Networking because I haven’t got a clue! Please HELP! Thanks in advace.
