My customer has a Win98SE machine (Intel Celeron 400) using a internal modem to connect to the internet. She wants to share files (only) with a WinXP-pro machine (PIII 1GH). We purchased a NIC for the XP machine and connected it to the Win98SE (internal NIC) with no problems so far. We ran the wizards, installed NETBUI on the XP machine, bought a book, and consulted the web... We now have this situation: The XP machine does not list itself on a network (not even the name of the workgroup), the Win98SE does in network neighborhood. I can ping each machine with no loss but each machine cannot see each other in My Network Places, etc. Each is set up with the same workgroup and different name. I tested the cable connecting to a XP laptop, no problems. I tried the ICS wizards from the XP CD on each machine also with no results. I´m definitly not a network guru, just break/fix and troubleshoot, but this is the first setup I have not been able to complete. The host is set to 168.192.0.1 and internet dialup networking has always worked. I disabled ZoneAlarm. Is there something simple I am missing? Thank you for your help.
