In reply to Andre Da Costa's post on November 8, Steve Cochran. In reply to handyman3's post on November 9, Try adding the Win98 user with the same username and password as is used to log onto the Win98 machine to the users of the Windows 7 machine with Admin privileges. Then share everything on the Win98 machine to all users given them all access. You can also try accessing Win7 machine from Win98 by sharing a directory on Win7 and trying to access it via Win98 with the username and password above.
Any ideas why my W95 machine is having a hard time looking across the network? I have other options in mind, like move the drive to the XP machine to make a copy, use a crossover cable between the 2 ethernet cards, etc. Seemed easiest because I already had all of the hardware. The best way to connect everything is exactly how you have it. If file sharing won't work connected through a router, the same things that are preventing it from working now, will prevent it from working if you use internet connection sharing which you definetly do not want to do - that's why you have a router or connecting them through a cross-over cable.
Are you absolutely sure that all firewalls are disabled? Firewalls are the most common reason for the problems you are seeing. The Windows XP firewall cannot be used at all if you want file and printer sharing to work. Any third party firewalls must be configured properly in order for file and printer sharing to work. Have you designated drives or folders as shared resources on both machines?
I thought that it might be based on the fact that my laptop is from work and normally I log-in through Novell. I still get a login failure, when I start-up indicating that no server could be located to validate the user and some network objects may not be available. I have tried both options and also tried to modify the Primary Network Login within the network properties but am still having no luck connecting the two.
I don't have a hub but when I plug the twisted pair cable into the XP machine, I am getting a connection but still can't find the computer or folders. I looked again at all of my security, and found that I had not disabled the Norton Internet Security program running on my Windows 95 machine. After killing that program, the connection finally worked.

Make sure all computers are in the same workgroup and have unique names on the network 2.
Make sure the drives and folders have been designated as shared. Steve 1. Not sure how to do this. Done 3. Done 4. Not sure how to do this either. Not sure how to enter a null password, but since I'm never prompted for one, so I have a hunch this is done. To make sure the computers are in the same workgroup and have unique names on the network, in Windows XP, right click on the My Computer icon and select properties from the drop down menu, then click on the Computer Name tab and make any changes you need to make there.
On the Windows 98 computer, right click on the Network Neighborhood icon and select Properties from the drop down menu then click on the Identification tab and make necessary changes there. To share any drive or folder on either version of Windows, open Windows Explorer, right click on a drive or folder you want to share, then select Sharing from the drop-down menu.
