Hi,
Can anyone help me with this? I realise the answer might be a good book, so by all means, if you know one that explains it well, please tell.
I have four Windows machines on a home network, One each of XP, Win 2000 and Win 98, and occassionally I connect an extra machine also running XP.
All machines can access the Internet, but I have varying success with getting them to see each other.
The 98 machine can neither see or be seen by any of the other machines.
The XP machine can log in to the 2000 machine and access all shares on it. It can also access the shares on the second XP machine.
Both the second XP machine and the 2000 machine can see the main XP machine and each other in the network group, but neither have permission to any level of access.
I have tried changing the IPs from auto to within the range 169.254.*.* and the subnet mask 255.255.0.0, but all I succeeded doing with that was losing the internet, so I reset them all back.
Any ideas?
