Need Help Please

Hi - I am attempting to connect a lappy and PC together. Both have the
correct hardware fitted and working [indicated as such by windowze]. On
each - in Network - I see the the PC. Unable to Map Network. I think I
have all the settings ok but clearly not. Anyone give me a list of items
to check pse?

Thanks

Yoy need to create the same accounts on each machine. If you log on to the
laptop as 'pete' you need to create a 'pete' account on the PC. There are
other workrounds but this is the simpleist way to do it.

I presume you've actually shared some resources. What OSs are you using?

so what 'exactly' happens when you try to Map? what is the error message?

98SE File & Printer Shares. So far as I can see I have all the
software settings correct but when it comes to Map it just dont work.
I am beginning to suspect the damn cable. Which will piss me off since
It is NEW.

So you can ping each machine from the other? What IP addresses are being
assigned?

I assume you have actually shared resources as IIRC 98SE doesn't show
unless a resource is shared.

How about the IP address and workgroup? It is usually a doddle if the
workgroup is the same and the IP addresses/subnet masks are the on the
same sub-domain. Also, do you have dial-up set to "dial if no network
connection is present"?

One final thought - are you using any controls (family logon/share
passwords)? Again, it is easier but not essential if the "user" is
known to both machines.
