Ok update Tried sharing a folder, and it cant see that either. Any other ideas? The win98 machine will never see the Xp if your using NTFS but you should be able to share folders on the win98 and see it on the xp. Did you try pinging the win98 machine? Try using fixed ip's if you cant ping and the cables are ok.

Click to expand The win98 machine and the Xp box are both plugged into a Linksys router. The 98 machine accesses the internet just fine, as does the XP box Its got something to do with it being windows 98 lol.
I'm having the exact same problem. Also connected to that router is a Windows98 machine, hardwired. When I go to add a network printer or location, I can see the machine, just it wont expand to show the printer or location.
Anyone got any clue? Having identical problems This I know is all simple, and mine still didn't work until I reinstalled all the above on my Win 98 machine. I think the Win 98 network files were screwed up because I had initially tried to let XP "Create the network", which is a big "No, No" on all the networking websites and apparently can change and screw up the settings on your entire network.
It initially told me that the Win98 Machine had the wrong Driver, so I downloaded the XP driver and installed it on the WinXP laptop, and then it recognized the printer and tried to print, but now returns an error message that it can't print file. It's really great to read these posts and share the same anguish, if anyone figures out the problem entirely, please post it and I'll do the same.
Rightclick the printer you want to share, and click on Sharing Did you mark the printer as "Shared"? The problem is that Windows 98 does not Beacon properly. This means that the Windows 98 will probably be able to see files and even printers on a Windows XP machine. It is a problem with Windows 98 in all reality. Try to look at shared files on the Windows XP machine through the Windows 98 mahine. If you can do this, try attaching the printer to the XP machine just for fun and see if you can print to it from the 98 Machine.
If you can, my recommendation is that you upgrade to Windows XP for Both. After a virus was detected and removed from this system, the ability to share drives or files is no longer an option.
Nor can file and print sharing be enabled. How is the best way to restore this feature to the operating system? Share Flag. All Comments. Collapse -. Sharing in Windows 98 SE. Had already tried this and it would not change anything 0 Votes. Poster rated this answer 0 Votes.
