First, the LAN (or TAN actually) is 3 computers, networked to the net on cable, via a Linksys 4port router. comp1 is mine, windowsXP, other is windows98 and the other is Linux Redhat, now between the XP and 98, I used to share files a lot, and they can both access the net, anyway today I turned on both PC's and they worked, the 98 can see the files on XP and get or upload, but I cant see the files on the 98 Pc from the XP PC. I checked to see if the files were still being shared, they were not, BUT I cant share anything, Its like theres no network, theyres no option to share files. Whats up with that? I am going to reboot after my bro finishes using the other PC.
