I have two windows 98 PCs connected to a Router for sharing a broadband cable connection. Both get on the Internet through the router just fine.
For example sake lets use Computer A and Computer B. Computer A can see Computer B in Network neighborhood. Computer A can access Computer Bs hard drive (set for shared) through network neighborhood.
Computer B cannot see Computer A in network neighbor hood. Netbui is installed. I can ping computer As IP address from computer B.
When I try to map a shared drive I get an error basically stating No log on servers are available to validate your request. It does not say anything about the computer not being found. It appears it does find the drive but cannot log on to it.
When I set up the share on computer A, it wants me to assign users. When I set the share for computer B it simply lets me give full access to everyone.
It appears connecting to computer B is working. But when I go from B to A, it has log in problems. Ithink this has something to do with what I saw when actually setting the drive to share.
Computer B, the one I can access from computer A, does not have an option to specify users. computer A wants be to specify users that can access the share.
Both appear to have the exact same configurations in network neighborhood. How can I get my logical drive mapped from computer B to A?
