Network problem with Win Xp and Win 98
Hello, In my company I've got computer with Win98 as a server and one with WinXP Home as a client (new computer). Sometimes, I lose data when these two computers work on the same *.dbf tables. I must mention, that everything goes all right, when both client and server are on Win98. There's suggestion that changing the roles (I mean WinXP Home as a server, and Win98 as a client) will help. But, is it the only solution??? Has anyone met this problem??? How did You solve it?? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Andrzej Maybe a read of this article could help http://www.witze...

Win XP Home Network Ping and My Network Places problem
Hi, I have a home network with two Win XP Home machines. Everything appears to be working properly with a dial-up ICS connection and ICF in use. Previously I had the Win XP ICS host connected to a Win 98 machine. I recently replaced the Win 98 machine w/ a Win XP machine. Although the two XP machines can talk to each other, when I ping from the host XP machine to the client using the client computer name the ping fails. If I use the IP address the ping succeeds. Also I have a number of shares defined on the client computer and none of them appear when I look at My Network Places on the host. The local shares do appear. When I view My Network Places on the client, all shares are shown (both local and host). I have deleted all the old Win 98 share entries from the My Network Places list. The net view command at the host command prompt reports both computers by name. They are assigned to the same workgroup. Is there some remnant from the old Win 98 client that is preventing the new computer name from being recognized? How can I troubleshoot this problem?

Network hp7960 printer Win xp to Win ME?
Printer installs ok on the win xp PC. When trying to network with the laptop running ME, the laptop sees the printer on the networked PC, and thens asks for the cd disk. However, this is where the problem begins. When following the install steps, it cannot find certain files on the install disk, nor will it use the installed files from the xp computer. I've installed this printer on an xp pc and an xp laptop. It just will not install as a networked printer between the laptop running win ME and the PC running xp. I did find step by step procedures on the following web site, but even that doesn't work. http://support.its.ied.edu.hk/stffaq/7.3.html Any insight into this problem? Given that the Photosmart 7960 is a USB-only printer, I would guess that HP does not want you to network it, and makes it difficult to do so. I've seen writeups explaining how one can "force" a supposedly non-networked printer to be used across a network, but only for older parallel port printers. I'm not sure I can help with this one. Did you install the printer on one or the other computer, then give it a share name? If so, it may be possible to install it physically on the other computer, move it back to where you want it to be (a desktop computer), then reconfigure the printer's port by associating it with the share name seen across the network. Don't ask me exactly how to do it. I'd have to tinker with it a bit to figure it out. If it's a...

Networking Win 2K Pro to Win XP Pro
I have two computers in my home office, 1 running Windows XP Pro and the other running Windows 2000 Professional. They are both hooked up to a Netgear router to access the broadband connection. I want the two to now share files as well as a printer attached to the XP computer. I've set them both to the same workgroup name and shared the drive on the computers, but they don't seem to be able to see each other. Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to network my main computer and XP Pro Athelon 1700 to a Win 98 machine. I am using a Belkin 4 port router. I can't get the computers to see each other. However, I can get on the WEB from my 98 machine and I can check email from my main Athelon computer but I can get the browser to connected to any web sites from my Athelon computer. The Belkin setup site says its connected, which i know it has to be, since i can check my email. The WAN light on my router blinks, what does that mean? The port lights are on and on solid. I do have the properties checked so that the driv...

Networking two win xp pro computers problem
Hello, I have two computers seperated by about 25 feet running win xp pro and formatted with fat32 so I wanted to use simple file sharing to connect them so I could share a printer.

All I do is disconnect one of the cables from the hub and it fixes the problem....But I should be able to have 3 PC's connected to a four port hub otherwise there is no point having 4 ports....

Windows XP and Windows 98 Networking... Ugh...
Here is my problem, I have a Win 98 network, It works great with any computer as long as it is windows 98.. My friend has XP home and he can connect to my router and get on the internet, but file and print sharing doesn't work. I can see his computer on the network but I cant connect. I think it says something like the network path could not be found. I'm Just wondering if anybody could tell me what the trick is to networking xp... I know it has a lot of security features from NT and its probably something to do with my lack of knowledge of win nt. I havnt upgraded to xp yet...

<<Win 98/Xp Network problems>>
Hi, I have 4 computers that all share a 2mb charter fast internet connection. I have two XPs and 2 WIN98se. The proplem is that none of them can share a printer or share files. I have manaully shared drives, ran network setups, but it does nothing. I always get errors: ex: not avaible or stuff like that. I have been working and using networks for a couple of years, but this is boggling to me. I believe that it may be because of the mix network of wired and wireless. Here is the specs: PC1>>WinXP connects via wire 100mbps to netgear MR814(wireless hub). One win98 and the other xp connect ...

But I think in your case that might be getting ahead of yourself. For instance, you'll need to know about such things as NIC (ethernet cards), IP addresses (RFC 1918), and packet forwarding. And IPTables. For now, why don't you simply unplug the Internet from the Windows machine (I'm guessing an ethernet/cable modem connection), plug it into the Linux...

How to connect WIN2000 and WIN XP Home network for peer to peer communication
Hi, I have a Win2000 Professional desktop and a Win XP Home connected to a router to share the internet. I want to enable share folders and share printers between them by MS network but - I enable the NetBEUI in Win2000 Professional but I cannot find the NetBEUI Protocol in Win XP Home; - I enable the home networking in Win XP Home but it tell me that the networking can only be used in Win98, 98SE, ME and XP only.
