I'm running Win XP pro and an unable to connect to other machines on the
network running Win98. The machines all run novell client over the university
network. Each machine has its own unique name and IP and all are assigned in
the same workgroup.
On the XP machine: If I click view computers in my workgroup I only see the
machines running XP.
On the Win98 machines: If I open the network neighborhood I can see the XP
machines and access the shared files.
Even if I disable the windows firewall on the XP machines I still cannot see
the Win98 machines. Additionally, if I ping the IP address of the Win98
machines I get an instant reply.
What have I got to do to Win XP to get the Win98 machines to appear in my
workgroup PC list, would be very helpful as the networked printers also run
off the Win98 machines. Which are setup for file and print sharing, there is
no problem printing over the network from other Win98 machines.
Please help,
