Need help or info....having a problem networking my XP to
win 98. Keep getting an "unable to browse network" error
on the win 98. I used the wizard like 6 times but no luck
I' using the xp as the "server" to share internet,
printer as well as files.
connection is as follows....modem to 1st network card on
the xp then the 2nd network card on the xp goes to a
router then to the 98
any help?
 
Hi Chad

Afraid I can't help at this time but it might help to know that you are not alone. I am having exactly the same problem. I have internet on both machines and can share files but the 98 machine just cannot find the printer on the xp machine. Have followed the instructions in help and used the wizard as you have. If I find the answer before you, I'll post it. Good luck.
 
How many ports does your router have? If it's a 4 port router you need to
have modem to router..one port to pc 1 and another port to pc2. If the
router has only one port you need modem to router..router to a 4 port switch
and pc hooked to that.
