wXP can`t find w98

2 PCs (acctually a lot) connected thru hub. wXP has problems finding w98 ower the network. wXP can find it but verrrry slow (15-30sec) and this slows down everything (explorer, open/save dialogs, etc).
w98 disk is mapped to wXP.
only network protocol used is TCP/IP

help?:)
 
i had this same problem. i solved it by installing net beui on both 'puters.

you can install it by going to add/remove programs and selecting it from the xp components (it'll prolly ask u for the xp disc).

don't worry about win98, it has net beui installed by default. simply activate it in the same tab as tcp/ip settings, i think. you check a box next to net beui to activate it.

after this, reboot both machines and walaa!
 
nope. netbeui didnt help much. maybe(!) just a lil' faster, but still not ok
 
pls search for this topic in the forums, as I and others have answered this SAME exact question time and time again... and get rid of beui.... this is the new millenium :)
 
I had the same problem. I also have Norton Internet Security installed on the XP box with a cable modem and 2 NICs. When I disabled the Norton Internet Security, the two found each other perfectly (<10 msec TTL). NetBUI isn't required. Try using the "Setup Home Network Wizard" from XP if you still can't figure it out. Also, the search the forums is probablly your best bet.
 
well, you can search for posts by me or also zedric who has discussed this topic in the past, among others
 
can`t! :

That message is due to the fact that for the time being the admin's have disabled the search fuction while they try to figure out why they were having problems with the site. So with the search fuction disabled u will have to go looking on ur own or find a mod who can help. U could try this program Smartalec PC Accelerator XG.possible software solution

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
