I know...not another question on sharing over a peer-to-peer LAN. But
this one stumps we.
But I have a win98SE system talking to a win2000 system over a local
LAN. Mostly it works fine. I can set up and share folders
(logical drives) on the win2000 system, except for one. Sharing of a
specific logical drive (G:) appears to be set up as it should be and as
are all the other logicals, but it won't show up on the LAN. The system
and the other loigcal show up but no that one drive. On the other hand
it does show up locally, when at the win2000 end but the other win98se
computer just cannot seem to see it.
The win98SE computer can talk to the other three drives that
are set up for sharing. But not to that one blasted logical.
I tried setting up sharing via Sharing under Properties, via Sharing
directly, and even via Administrator Tools. Tried removing sharing via
Administrator and then resharing. Rebooted time and time again. No luck.
