    Net not been seeing

    I have two computers (one with W2K and one with W95) in a net. They were able to see each other before, but now. The W2K machine can see both (itself and W95). However, the W95 computer can only see itself. Does anybody know what can be the problem??

    I don't know because of the vagueness of your question, but usually it works if you simply try to connect to the computer:
    Code:
    \\ComputerName\
    I've had this problem a few times as well and this has always worked for me.

    It's not working. I don't understand why the net is working on one direction only.

    Could it be that the W2K machine is NTFS-formatted? Am just guessing here btw.

    It is. But I don't know why this will be relevant. I'm not talking about accesing the disk. The W95 cannot even see the Printer, cannot see the computer itself.

    This is really weird since some time ago (even with the NTFS) they could see each other.

    FS type doesn't matter. Exactly the reason why sharing between mac-, linux-, and windows-boxes works. What have you changed since the last time the configuration was working 100%?

    They don't. Besides, I don't think the W2K would be able to see the other machine if they both had the same IP.

    The last thing I remember changing was installing a proxy software. But, even after uninstalling it, the problem persists.

    more than likely is a setting left over by the proxy software!
    Like a gateway??

    The software was on the 2k box wasnt it?

    remove all the networking components from your pc and start fresh!

    In control panel Add\remove programs -- windows components

    remove restart then add them in again!

    Well, we know that you have basic connectivity because the W2K can see your Win95 machine. I would look at naming problems now.

    The master browser still works over naked IP, and you should be able to see both machines as long as they are on the same logical network. Make sure that your Win95 and Win2K machines are both in the same workgroup. If they are not on the same network then remember, IP does not provide any name resolution natively. If you are only using IP then you will need setup WINS, DNS or HOST FILES for your name resolution.

    If nothing else works then you can install NETBIOS on your machines (along with TCP/IP) and that should fix it up.
