Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
Latest !
I can ping using the IPCONFIG ! I can ping everyone except the XP, which comes up unknown and one of the Windows 98 system whose name has a space in it, but otherwise works very well.
The XP can't ping anyone and has hung several times when trying to use "View Workgroup computers"
Also...the DLink router CANNOT ping the XP !but can ping the other computers.

Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
First, a little more info on the configuration of the network. The DLink router is connected to the highspeed cable internet service. Connected to the DLink are wireless portable as well as computers by cable and (1) DLink switch and more computers directly wired into the switch (my son's gaming activity) We have removed the XP system from being directly wired into the DLink router and wired it into the DLink Switch. We can now partially ping it, but it times out in IPCONFIG. The other computers can also see it int their Network Neighborhoods BUT cannot access it. The XP continues to be blind to ALL.

Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
Please create the same login name and password account in WinXP that you use in Windows 98. Control Panel / User Names....
Actually all the computers should have the same login account installed on them.
This is extremely important and required to realize your networking. This is probably what is holding you up.
Computer names have to be one word -- do not use more that one word.
Open a Command Prompt window on either PC and do the following command =
ping {name of the either computer}
Is the display showing any response?
On the XP PC open a Command Prompt window type in =
ipconfig /all
What are the IP addresses being displayed?
On the Win98 PC, create a shortcut to the Winipcfg tool in Windows 98. Or
Open MY COMPUTER icon and do a search
for "winipcfg.exe" file, then double click...
What are the IP Addresses?
Remember setting up a network with different Windows software can be very difficult?

Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
First, where do you find the MS DOS command prompt on XP ? I was able to get to it through a link in "Help" but still do not know where it is.
The XP's IP addresses appear to be quite correct. The XP's IP address is congruent to the rest of the network, that is , it fits in between d2 of the other computers. It is .107 and there is a .106 and a .108, which both work fine. The other computers can ping and see each other BUT cannot see the XP. And the XP doesn't see anyone but itself.

Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
Also the problem has been fixed. The problem centered around the Norton Security package that came with the computer. It has a "Firewall" that has to be disabled "completely". Once done, the system works well. Thanks to all who helped me !

Re: setting up XP to network into existing home 98 network
Go to Start / Program Files / Accessories
You should see it there.
Be sure to create the same login account on each PC.
Shut down all Windows 98 PCs.
Run the "Network Setup Wizard" in the "Network Connections" icon of the Control Panel.
Use the same Workgroup Name for all PCs.
Shutdown the XP PC.
Turn on the XP PC.
Turn on the Win98 PCs, wait 10 minutes.
Check........
You should realize the URL link to assign points.........
Getting Closer,
Jim
