shared folders don't show

[Guest brucegooglegroups]

I have a windows xp home computer networked with a windows 98

computer.

There hasn't been any problem with sharing folders. Now, most of my

shared folders on my windows 98 computer don't show in the Xp network.

I tried disenabling and renabling sharing, and it worked only on one

folder.

 

I think the problem may have started after I did a system restore on

the xp machine. Not sure. I did login in safe mode, did a system

restore and the restore was fine.

 

However, I can't seem to rerestore the computer to another date( I

would rather keep the current restored point).

 

Suggestions?

Re: shared folders don't show

 

This is what helped for me:

Decide which computer you want to be the master browser (I chose the Win 98

machine) and make sure it is enabled in Control Panel> Network>

Configuration tab> select "File and Printer Sharing" > Properties> Advanced

tab> select "Browse Master" and select Enable. OK> OK> Reboot.

On the XP machine you disable via Start> Run> "services.msc" (without the

quotes) OK. The Computer Brower service can be selected and disabled/enabled

from the window that appears. It can also be stopped/started there.

 

HTH,

ern.
