Re: Has anyone successfully got a Win98 Computer to show up on a Vista network map

I can see the Win98 HDD from the Vista computer (i.e. network mapping
works), it's just that showing up under the Vista network icon is iffy,
sometimes it does sometimes not.

Hi Warren,
I think you got to have file and print sharing enabled on both
Win98/Vista and the Workgroup has to be the same name. Maybe have Vista
workgroup a certain name then add Win98 to that workgroup. Make sure
they can ping each other too.
