OK, I'm trying to network all my PCs, but my Win98 PC is not cooperating. Here's what I've got:
Netgear Wireless 802.11b router (814, one of the older ones)
Desktop 1 running XP w/ a Linksys 802.11b USB adapter
Laptop running Win2K w/ centrino
Desktop running Win98 wired to the router
Using my laptop, I can see (and access) the shared folders on my desktop 1. On the desktop 1, I run Norton security and I've allowed the IP for the laptop, so I'm OK there. I've also added the IP for the desktop 2 into Norton. On desktop 2, I search for the computer and can see desktop 2 BUT I can access it, so I can't any folders or resources. I haven't tried, but I'm sure I can pink from desktop 2 to desktop 1.
What am I missing? I'd like to share the folders from desktop 2 but I'm not sure if I'm missing a setting on Win98.
Does Win98 have to have the same domain name set as the WinXP machine? That's not the case on my Win2K laptop. Both the laptop and WinXP desktop have different domains but it still works fine.
I believe I tried it w/ Norton off w/ no success, but I'll try again to make sure.
Thanks IT folks!
