Help networking win2k and win98se

[Quad]

both comps have the same workgroup etc.

on the win98se machine, i can see the win2k. when i go to access it, it gives me an error saying "you don't have permission to access this resource".

on the win2k machine, i can't see the win98se machine. in my network places, i can't see anything.

please help

thx

I assume you have the network set up correctly. It helps to set the IP addresses rather than detecting them. Also, for accessing files from win98, try enabling guest log on win2k. I had similar problems with my network:

ok, the win98se machine can fully see and access the win2k machine. i did'nt even have to supply a pw.

but, on the win2k machine, i see no other computers in the workgroup.

Two possibilities: One is that you don't have anything shared from Win98SE machine; Second is that you somehow disabled "NetBOIS over TCP/IP" on Win2K and Win98SE has NetBEUI protocol installed.

So share something from Win98SE and enable "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" on Win2K.
