i am trying to set a server based net work for file/print/intenet(dialup) sharing

i have a win 98se client connected via 3com 8 port hub to a win2kserv(SP2) i will possible add two more if i can get this first one to work

my problem is that the client can see the server name in the network neighborhood but cant access any resources and the server cannot see the client. Altough i have setup the client user as a authorized/authenticated user on the server.

what protocols / authentication do i need to set for the server to administer the client and the client to share access to the server.

currently i only have a psuedo connection but no access to and fro.

Make sure NetBEUI is installed on both, and File and Printer sharing is installed on the server.

Assuming that your hardware is functioning, and you are using the correct type of CAT5 cables.

All computers can have one, two, or three, of the following Network Protocols:

1. TCP/IP - must be installed for Internet
2. NetBEUI ? simple, no IP scheme, Internet safe (recommended as Default Protocol).
3. IPX/PX ? needed for some LAN games.

The three can reside together BUT - All computers must have the same Default Protocol..

All used Protocols are bound to the Ethernet Card.

All computers have the same Workgroup name.

Each computer has it own unique name.

Read this for Win 2000: Sharing Files/Printers between WinNT/Win2K


The following is the Sharing Setting in Win98!!!

You will not see a Computer in the Network Neighborhood, unless it shares something.

Make sure that you Logon as Client for Microsoft Network.

There are three places to be checked for sharing:

The first two are in Control Panel, Network.

1. The Protocol that you are using for sharing, has to be bound to Client for Microsoft Network, and Sharing is Checked in the protocol's properties menu.

2. The general File and Print Sharing has to be installed, and checked.

The third in "My Computer" folder.

3. Individual Drive or/and printer has to be checked for sharing.
Right click on the device to share, choose properties, click on the sharing Tab, check Shared As, and give it a name.

For printer:

Click My Computer, click on Printers, right click on the printer that you want to share, click on Properties, choose the Sharing tab, checked share, give it a name.


Important: The Shared Printer Drivers has to be installed on all computers that use this printer.

server/host has a modem (tcpip with auto ip addressing with msn dialup) (created a internet sharing account for the client user)

server/host also has accton nic with netbui,tcpip,ipx, protocols file/print sharing, client for ms network and ms family logon network.

client has a kingston nic with all protocols installed and auto ip adressing

dhcp is off on both pcs

client pc does logon (microsoft logon ) and can see the server.

do i need to add the client user to the server group/user policies.
