14747 2001-06-29 09:36:00 Hi, I have read quite a few of similar questions but can't find the answer.

I have two machines I want to network with a crossover cable.
Machine 1 (zugzug) is WIN98SE and Machine 2 (Win-2000) is WIN2000 Professional. (Logged on as Administrator).

I have TCP/IP with IP settings of 192.168.1.1 (win-2000) & 192.168.1.2 (zugzug) both have subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and they are both in the NETWORK Workgroup.

I have print and folder sharing enabled and drive sharing on both machines.

I have client for microsoft as login.

In network neighbourhood I can see win-2000 (most of the time otherwise search computers) and can access it ie can copy/del etc. On win-2000 in computers near me or search will find zugzug, but cannot log onto zugzug from WIN-2000. The usual message is \\Zugzug is not accessible. The network path was not found.

Both machines are both running before attempting to access the machines, and zugzug is a member of the user group on win-2000.

I can ping from both machines. From win-2000 only once I created lmhosts file though.

Any ideas why I can't access zugzug from WIN-2000?

Thanks Steve

see www.grc.com for article on unbinding protocols.

Thanks for your post, I do have folder sharing on, forgot to write it, I took tweak'e advice and installed Netbeui didn't want to but it now works, I put a reply up but it seems to have disappeared.
