network problems

[lucy]

one XP, notebook, wireless
one 98se


i setup a network with a mr814 netgear router. the internet connection is working fine, but i cant get it to share files and printers. when i go into network neighborhood on the win 98se the only icon is entire network, when i click it then theres a message that says unable to access network and tells me to go look in network troubleshoot in help index but nothing works.... does anyone knows whats wrong and what can i do to fix it?

In windows 98, I use the find to find the servers I want on the network...

did u enable file and print sharing?

[lucy]

i tried "find" it sometimes says cant be accessed and sometimes cant find it. (desktop, win98)
and yes its on shared files and printer
is there anything else i could do?

i can find my win98 on my laptop but i can't access it

make sure your on client for microsoft blah.

also when u set the ips set the "general" tab to obtain auto and then under alternative put the ip.


i'm under meds, srry if unclear.

it sounds like either a ip or protocol error since u said u have f&p sharing on. What ip are you using on the 98 machine? and what protocals are listed (ie tcp/ip, netboui)
