I have a small home network with 4 machines running Windows 98, Windows
98SE, Windows XP HE and Vista.
There is no problem between XP and the other three machines, nor is there
any problem with Vista accessing all machines (including the two 98
machines).
Both 98 machines see the Vista machine but when I try to access the Vista
machine from these machines the following happens:
On 98 the icon shows the Vista machine name, and when I click on this icon
(expecting to get the "public" folder) I am asked for a network password to
access the Vista machine - (of course) I have no such password.
On 98SE the icon shows the "public" folder, and when I click on this icon
the 98SE machine locks up completely. <ctrl>+<alt>+<delete> reveals that the
Vista machine "is not responding", and I have to terminate the process to
continue operations on the 98SE.
Is there any solution to these problems or must I simply give up all
attempts to access the public area on the Vista machine from my Pre-XP
machines?
regards Sven
