Cannot share files

I have a new Dell computer running XP wired to a Netgear
router and an old Dell computer running 98 with a Netgear
wireless card. I am able to access the internet on the
Windows 98 machine but I am not able to share file. On
the old machine when I select Entire Network in Windows
Explorer I get the following message.

Unable to browse the network.

The network is not accessible.
For more information, look in the Help Index at the
topic "Network Troubleshooter"

Can anyone help?

It can take up to 15 minutes after a computer starts up before network
browsing works. During that time, you should be able to access
another computer by typing the other computer's name in the Start |
Run box preceded by two backslash characters:

\\computer

If that doesn't work, a common reason for inability to browse the
network is that the user isn't logged on. Is there a logon prompt
when Windows 98 starts? If so, don't cancel it. Complete the logon
by entering a user name and, optionally, a password. If there's no
logon prompt, click Start | Log Off or Start | Shut Down | Close all
programs... and log back on. If that makes network browsing work
properly, the most likely fix is to go to this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Network\Real Mode Net

and delete the value named "AutoLogon", as shown here:

>I still am having problems but I know that I have been
doing two things wrong.

1. I was not logged on to my 98 machine. I never
understood what the logon was doing and I eventcially
forgot my pass word. I fixed this problem by just typing
in a new user id and I left the password blank.

2. I had firewalls running on both machines. I removed
the firewall software from the XP machine and diabled it
on the 98 machine. I can now see the XP computer on the
98 machine but I still cannot see the 98 machine on the
XP machine.

I still need some help.

Follow the instructions offered in the link I sent previously.

I am still in trouble.

The 98 machine connects to a Netgear router through a
Netgear wireless card. On the 98 machine in Windows
Explorer I can select Network Neighborhood in the left
pane and see my XP machine listed in the right pane but I
do not see my 98 machine. When I right click on the
Network Neighborhood in the left pane and select Find
Computer I can search for the 98 machine and it is found
with the correct folders shared. A similar search on the
XP machine does not find the 98 machine.

I have tried to follow your Tip #1 instructions and have
had the following points of confusion.

1. In step 6 for the TCP/IP BINDING Advanced tab I do not
see the "Allow Binding to ATM" as a choice. If this is
referring to a cash ATM, perhaps Microsoft removed this
choice during a security patch.

2. In step 7 I am to uncheck the "I want to enable
NetBIOS over IPX/SPX" box unless I am connecting to an XP
machine. I am connecting to a router but this router does
connect to an XP machine. I believe this box should be
unchecked but I am not sure.

3. In step 15, I am unable to follow the instructions.
When you say "double-click My Network Places" I assume
you are talking about the left pane of Window Explorer
and the I should double-click on "Network Neighborhood".
The next instuction about VIEW THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF
THIS FOLDER and HIDE THE CONTENTS OF THIS FOLDER, do not
match any choices I have guessed at.

Thanks for your help so far, I hope you will be able to
spot my error.

"2. In step 7 I am to uncheck the "I want to enable

You are not trying to connect to the router, you are trying to connect to
XP. Therefore, this setting must be checked. The router is something you
connect to, it's something you connect THROUGH.

Hope this helps,

I am still having no luck. On both machine (XP and 98) I
can see the workgroup in my Entire Network. In this
workgroup I can only see the XP machine. If I right click
on Network Neighborhood and select find computer it does
find the 98 machine when asked.
