Hi gang,
I am in a dilemma here, any help is appreciated. I have 2 machines I am networking for a friend. They are very old and one is running windows 95 while the other runs windows 98. I have them hooked up to a hub. I have the right IP addresses (same subnet), same workgroup and the C drive is shared on both PCs. When I double click on Network Neighborhood in Windows 98, I can see both computers. However when I double click on the 95 machine, I get a message stating it can’t be found. I can see it…but I just can’t access it. Very weird, now as far as the 95 machine is concerned, it doesn’t even see itself or the 98 machine in Network Neighborhood. I am at a loss. Created a user on the 98 machine, rebooted the 95 machine, removed the TCP/IP stack and Netbeui stack and reinstalled/reconfigured both, on both machines to no avail. I can ping local host only on both machines. The NIC card on the 95 machine (in device manager, it comes up as “generic” for driver manufacturer field) is suspect but how can the 98 machine see it if the driver is corrupt. This Q is worth 1000 points if some one can help me. Thanks in advance.
