I have a home network with two pcs running windows 98 se. One generic home built and the other an HP with various generic additions. Both intel celeron one 566 and the other 870.
I had them completely networked all drives hard, A drive and cd rom and cd burner plus printer and internet sharing. Everything was working like a charm until I uninstalled a whole lot of expired and useless downloaded games from one computer.
Now I am unable to view the network on network neighborhood on the computer that I did the uninstalling. But I can access the other computer via the find computer facility when right clicking the network neighborhood icon on the desktop. This doesn’t work on the other computer but all computers show up there in network neighborhood although the other computer is not accessible. Internet sharing still works and so does multiplayer game playing and printing.
I have checked the cable and uninstalled the driver and reinstalled it. I have uninstalled my aol software and reinstalled. you name it, I’ve probably tried it.
I think it might be a problem with the registry but I am not so experienced there and so am not sure how to tackle a problem in that area.
So, the only other option I think I have is to blow everything away and start again.
Unless someone has some other suggestions to save me the time and effort on that solution.
Has anyone got any ideas?
