Sucess At Last - Win98 + Win2K USB

P-air · 5th August 2001, 1:19 AM

After two and a bit days, and from a bit of help from the forum, I finally got that damn network up and running...boy how sweet it is to see everything reconnecting/mapping after a restart.

Took 9 re-installs of win98, and 3 clean installs of win2k (NFTS - FAT32 - NFTS) - (geez, went round in circles, but I spose thats the learning curve

) )

Many Thanks for the help of El_Bambino, and Viper.

Things learnt. Dont use the Administrator as normal logon, create a seperate login name, with admin privileages. Use the same login name with same password for both win98 and win2k, forget the guest login. Let win2k login "assume same person login", and win98 ask for password.

Sharing drives from win2k - setup new sharing ie dont try and share c$ use c instead.

With the Ip, I just set up 198.162.0.1 / subnet 255.255.255.0 on win2k, nothing for win98.

Note this network was setup using usb pc2pc from msi, out of the 815epR motherboard on win2k.

Wow..that was fun/frustrating

Now for the next challenge - Internet sharing and fire walls (perhaps next week)

Many thanks to the forum and members for quick and meaningfull assistance
