Small network - 11 users. All login to an NT Server (sp4). Of those 11, 2 are running NT WS (sp3). The others are running Win95 and 98. Each PC is sharing 'something' on the network (printer, zip-drive, directory, etc. . . .)<br>
<br>
When I sit at one of the NT WS, I can see each shared PC in the Network Neighborhood. Yet when I double-click on one of the PC icons, the flashlight searches forever . . . finding nothing from the Win95 or 98 PCs. It can however access the other NT WS, and the NT Server.<br>
<br>
When I'm at the Win95 or 98 PCs, I can see and access all shares. Including the shares from the NT Workstations.<br>
<br>
I looked at protocols, bindings, domains, ID's, File & Print sharing. Everything 'appears' to be correct.<br>
<br>
How can I access shares from the 95 & 98 PCs, on these NT Workstations? I would really appreciate your assistance/help with this issue. Thank You.
 
Have you tried a later service pack on the wkstns--at least sp5?
 
No, I haven't tried an SP update. I will give it a try.<br>

Thanks cpurom!
