I have a Desktop with Win 98SE and a laptop with Win2000 Professional. I have a Netgear Wireless router and both computers can successfully access the internet. I am trying to get the 2 computers to share files and the printer.
This is what i have tried so far in my Win98se computer:
-Went to network neighborhood properties and checked both options in File and Print Sharing.
-Went to control panel, Users, and added a new user with the username of lucent. lucent is the username on my laptop. (not the computername, but the username that i use to logon when windows first starts)
-Right clicked on C drive, went to sharing. Clicked Shared As and added The World, Full Access. Then i tried to add lucent to share, but it wasn't available.
-Changed the Workgroup name to match the same Workgroup name on the laptop.
-In the Network Neighborhood properties, I have Microsoft Family Logon as my Primary Network Logon.
In my laptop, in the Local Area Connection properties, i have Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, and TCP/IP all checked.
In my laptop, in the Computers Near Me, I see the desktop computer, but when i try to open it, i get 'computername is not accessible. The network path was not found'.
Now i'm stuck. Help!
