[WriteLog] Network problem

[Matt Burke]

Barry,

You need to create an "account" for the win98 box to login to the WinXP box.
XP has a more secure network setup than 95/98/ME.

Go to  Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Local Users and Groups/Users
and create an account using whatever you "login" to your 98 box with....most
likely your name from when you installed 98.

73,

Matt - N5KR

Subject: [WriteLog] Network problem


Setting up WL for 2 computer network. Computer 1 is WinXP(Home),
computer 2 is Win98FE. Previously, both computers were Win98FE,
and no problems.

Computer 1 networks to computer 2 without a problem. However
computer2 isn't seeing computer1. As I recall from the past, after
Registering both computers for networking, Link to Network is only
necessary on one computer. Correct? It's not working here.
When I click on Link to Network on computer2, an Enter Network
Password box pops up. It never did this before, and I never set a
password. So, I just hit Enter, but that doesn't work. Ideas?
Tnx,
Barry
