    I am try to network a windows 2000 pro machine to a windows 98se machine (peer to peer)

    I have setup cards, names ,workgroup name and protocols

    I can see the win98 machine on windows 2000 machine but cant access any files or printers on the win98 machine and on the win 98 machine can even see the win2000 machine

    I have assign ip address as follows
    win2000 192.168.0.1
    win98 192.168.0.2

    win2000 machine can ping its self and the win98 machine
    but win98 machine can only ping its self - if I try to ping the win2000 machine it gets a timed out message.

    On windows 2000 Local area Network Connection details (win2000 has received packets from the 98 machine)

    I have file and printer sharing on (on both computers)

    Any one got any idea on what i am doing wrong. :confused:

    Your not sharing the drive or file you want to share.
    You will have to right click on the file or drive on the 98 machine you want to share and choose "sharing ". Pretty much self explanitory from there.
    On the Win2k machine it's a little tougher. Same scenerio but you need to add permissions to the share. Also you need Admin rights on the pro machine to publish a share.

    Actually, the default when you create a share on 2K is full control to everyone.
