hi!
I have a wired problem. I am connected over a basic network ( i think it is
called peer-to-peer).
The manner in which the computers are connected is as follows:
1) The main computer is an XP Professional.
2) The other computers are win 98, win 98se, and one XP home (thats me).
The network is to help us share files and printers and the internet
connection. The funny prat is that I am able to acess the internet, use a
lan messenger program and communicate with other users. But i am not able to
access the shared folder on the Main computer.
When I try and ping to this address i get a request time out.
Can someone enlighten me to the problem.
Thanx
Nelson.
