My PC is an eMachine with Windows XP home edition. My
Laptop is a Compaq Presario with Windows 98. I have a
Linksys Etherfast Cable/DSL Router/Hub Model BEFSR41
V.2
I can't get the either one of the two operating systems
to recognize that there is another computer on the
network. I just want to set up a home file sharing
system. I don't want to set up a joint Internet
connection.
 
I am having the same problem??? One computer has Windows
XP, the other windows 98. Made the floppy disk in the XT
machine, moved it over to the 98 machine and everything
loaded OK. But I don't see the other computer on either
machine. Using a HUB, tried to turn off firewall software
on the 98 machine but makes no difference. Not sure what
to do at this point???
 
I have the exact same problem as Robert, My 2 XP pc and HP desktop with 98SE can see each other but my laptop with 98SE can only see the HP but not the 2 XP pc. The 2 Xp also cannot see my laptop. I also went through the routine of running the floppy from XT into the laptop but do not work.

Can anyone help!!!!

Thank you!!
