Please help me: I can not connect Windows 98 SE with Windows Seven in my home Network... With Windows Xp and Vista all work fine but when I try connecting with windows 98 Windows Seven .. I can not do Windows Seven is connected and see the equipment and files from windows 98 all ok, still here.... and... Windows 98 sees seven machines in network environment, but can not connect or see the files "the network does not allows the request" Any solution to this problem?
I think you'd better access Win98 from Win7, not the other direction, as it's a hassle. PS: If you still need to access Win7 from Win98, I can provide you with the required steps.
Thanks !! I need access Win7 from Win98 I need those required steps !!! And excuse me for wasting your time !
Sorry, somebody has to be the smart-aleck Step 1. Carry windows 98 computer outside to trash can. Step 2. Buy a new computer.
OK, OK, enough with the funny business children. hvgvirry, If you want to view,edit,delete files that reside on a Win7 box from a Win98 box, you will need to create a share on the Win7 box of whatever folder or drive you have in mind. The easiest way I did it was to add the Everyone group to the Share Permissions and NTFS Permissions tab of the newly created share, and give them full control. Or just read/execute if you do not want to delete over the network. In the Win98 box you cannot browse for the share via the network hood (I am working of the browsing issue) but you will have to either map it to a drive letter or just open it from the run command. i.e. \\Win7box\Porn Mfk
I want to do exactly that. Really connect a folder in Windows 7 as network drive in Windows 98 I was try it but not work I can not map it to a drive letter, because W98 browse network buttom not allow to display the folder in Windows 7 Of course, at the same time, if You try all this in the way Windows 7 to Windows 98 all works fine ! and the problem is not present between Xp and W7 Again, my apologies for the inconvenience of my questions !
Hummm.... very funny !!! But I not have a penny !!!! Perhaps... you may want to finance the change ???
If you live in the US then Obama has your change! In all seriousness, I suspect this is something that M$ did to try and force people with Win98 boxes to upgrade/replace them.
no its not that it is the fact that 98 doesn't support most newer protocols for networking, let alone kerberos or NTLM auth. TCP/IP networking in 98 was shoddy at best. If you need to network 7 and 98 you might want to think about installing the IPX protocol on both boxes.
just a thought but did win98 support NTFS... I remember having to install this as an addon to use it when networking with XP.
Any idea on sharing a USB printer, connected to a Win 7 PC, with a Win 98 PC ? I was trying to, using Win 98 Add Network Printer Wizard with no luck, despite the PCs can share files with each other, and the printer is set as Shared and Ready.
Dude using Win98 on a network connected to the internet is like have unprotected sex with a hooker... Really upgrade to XP or at minimum 2000. I haven't read the entire thread but why do you even 98? Actually..what about using Linux Ubuntu? Lightweight and should cover the basics use pretty well.
