A great big thank you to everyone who has responded to my request for help! This tutorial got me connected and we are now able to share files. Part of my problem was a firewall but there were some setting that weren't right too. My firewall is back in place and allowing the machines to talk so everything works great.

Again, thank you VERY MUCH!!!
Cindy



Hi Cindy,

I don't like Microsoft's wizards at all. It's not hard to configure manually. Here's a tutorial http://www.homenethelp.com/web/howto/net.asp
that's pretty good. It will show you exactly what to configure in both
operating systems. Why don't you try to go through it and then report back
to us about what happens.


Everybody is making good suggestions but it's sort haphazard.  You need to
go through it from scratch with a plan so that we can see what exactly how
you have configured it.

Subject: PCWorks: Re: Networking question

OK, here's what I've done. I ran the networking wizard on my XP with the
workgroup named "Home". Then I made a networking disk and ran it on the 98 machine, again using the workgroup name "Home". I restarted the machines when it told me to and was able to see the 98 machine in my Network but unable to import or access any of the files and I have turned on sharing on both machines and selected the files and marked them to share (they have the little hand under them). Now however, I can not even see the 98 machine in my Network Places (or visa versa). I even tried resetting up the Network with new workgroup names. Again, the first day I could see it but not access it, now I can't even see it. I'm kind of at a loss.


Thanks,
Cindy
