- File Sharing/Seeing Another Computer on Home Network
- Posted by herb on October 29th, 2005
I am unable to share files on my home network between my Windows 98 computer
(host) and my Windows XP computer. It worked up until approx. one week ago.
Both computer use Zone Alarm and I followed the instructions for file
sharing/viewing without any sucess. I also shut off Zone Alarm on both
computers, and no change. On my 98 machine, I can see the XP machine - but
I get the following error code:
"the computer or sharename is not found. Make sure you typed it in correctly
and try again" I didn't type it in - it automatically "popped up" The 98
machine does not show up on the XP machine.
I also have another XP machine and the 2 XP machines work fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
