An interesting problem has just come up. I am networking an
MSAccess database and using a WIN98 computer as the server. I can get all
the computers (WIN98 and WIN2k) to network to the server with the exclusion
of an XP box. The XP sees the server on the network but will not open it
(even when I remove password requirements). The WIN98 box is also the main
connection point to the internet for the network. I have had this problem at
home before when a WIN98 box was the connection point to the internet and
it would not allow my WIN2k to inspect it. I was told by tech support that
the conflict was created by it (the WIN98) being the internet access point and a lower
level operating system (and there was no work around).
If that is the case I will have to move the server to another box.
Any thoughts?
