Trying to create a simple workgroup network with a 8 port hub. Just 1 XP and 1 Win 98. Have the ip numbers as 192.168.1.1 as the xp and 192.168.1.2 as the win 98. Subnet 255.255.255.0. Both show in the
Microsoft Windows Network on the XP box but doesn't show on the 98. When I double click the 98 from XP I get this error:
\\win98pc is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the network resource. Contact the administrator of this server find out if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found.
Can't ping each other from either machine but they can ping themselves. I can print from the xp to a tcp/ip printer.
All firewalls are off.
This is set to 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
NETBEUI is installed on win98 and bound to tcp/ip. I may use this for security but I don't have an internet connection to the network yet. Getting one soon. Just want a TCP/IP workgroup for now. Hopefully AOL dialup on the XP doesn't pose much of a threat.
Green light on at NIC-rj45 connection on win98. Orange on XP.
I'm downloading an updated driver for the win98 Intel (82559) Series Ethernet NIC. Might this possibly help?
thank you
