| 336650 | 2005-03-22 02:53:00 | Hello, I run XP Pro on my laptop, win 98 se on a PC both connect to the net via a router to Cable (paradise). Both computers connect ok to the net. I have been through the drama of copying the network setup from the laptop to the PC via USB Flash drive. My laptop can see the other computer but when I try to open the other computer fron the laptop I get an error message which reads (othercomputer) is not accessable. You might not have permission etc. Network path was not found. The Win 98Se 'puter cannot see the lappie. Is there someone out there who can explain in simple terms what I have to do to get them to see each other. Cheers, Rob |

| 336653 | 2005-03-22 03:20:00 | You could try bridging the connections on both if u use ethernet, which by the sounds u r at the mo. In My network places in XP, and wherever the LAN icon is in 98. |

| 336659 | 2005-03-22 11:47:00 | I'm not sure if having the Guest account enabled on a Windows machine is the best advice security wise. Maybe creating a new passworded account would be the better option. | Murray P (44) | ||
