Hi guys,

I wonder if anyone can help me out how to network windows
95 to windows XP. I tried a few things, but none of them
works. My aims were to link the windows XP to a small
windows 95 LAN and use the existing broadband to access
Internet. Now the problem is that I can't even link the
windows XP to the LAN.
Would appreciate if anyone can help me out.
Please reply to my email address. Thanks

Alex

Win9x can't see Win2000/XP

By default, Win2000/XP disables NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) for selected
clients. In a peer-to-peer network without WINS, Win9x will be unable to
browse, locate, or create file and print share connections to a Windows 2000
computer with NetBIOS disabled. So, you must setup the Win2000/XP to uses
NetBIOS over TCP/IP to communicate with prior versions of Windows NT and
other clients, such as Microsoft Windows 95. Alternatively, you may want to
add NetBEUI on all workstations in the peer-to-peer network.
