Two are running Windows XP, and the other is running Windows 98 SE. The problem is that the Windows 98 computer is not seeing any of the computers on the network, though the other computers can see it and it's files on the network. You have enabled sharing and you can ping each other by name. Resolution: 1. If you setup auto-logon on xp, disable and logon regularly. 2. If you select Family Logon on Primary Network Logon, switch to Client for MS Network. 3. Make sure no firewall running on xp. Make sure Client for MS Network is installed. Why some users do not receive your message After using net send /user to send server shutting down message to everyone in the network, you were told that some people did not get your message. It is because their messenger service <03> had been disabled. To check if the particular machine's messenger is disable remotely, you can use command nbtstat -a computername. If the messenger service is running, it should show username with <03>. Otherwise, the service is disable. Why my win98 always logs on using one username even I am in a domain network It is setup as auto-logon or you have select Family Logon option (you may have an option to add my password to the password lists on the logon screen). Select Client for MS Network as the Primary Network Logon. |
