I have a Win98 network with several computers. All are set up so that
Netbeui handles file and printer sharing. Both "Client for MS Networks" and
"File and Printer Sharing" are UNBOUND from the TCP/IP protocol. This has
worked well for me so far and has proven pretty secure when tested by
SheildsUp (www.grc.com).
Now I am introducing a WinXp Pro system to the mix... and I can't seem to
get the WinXp box to see the other computers.. or the other computers to see
the XP system.
I know I can ditch Netbeui and make it all work with file sharing enabled on
all systems under TCP/IP, but I would prefer to remain with my current setup
if possible.
What can I do to make XP and 98 see each other under this setup ?
Thanks in advance for any info, Stephan
