Windows 98 server
Windows 2000 client
Workgroup
I have a problem where I can not manage to get a Win2000 client to see the 'server' which is running Win98.
The client (w2k) can ping the server (Win98) by both name and IP address and yet the client is not running WINS and there is no WINS running at all on the network from what I can see. Is the ping response working through Netbios over TCP/IP?
There is another Win2000 clients on the network and this can be browsed to across the network and pinged. The new machine has been added, removed and readded to the workgroup but this has failed to provide a solution!
Is there a utility I need to install to get the Win2000 machine to see the Win98 machine. I apologise for the lack of info but there isn't any more to tell I don't think. The network is a workgroup with a couple of Win2000 clients a Win98 server and everything is running static IP addresses. There are no WINS or DNS services so I have no idea how the machines are communicating Netbios over TCP/IP I assume.
Win98 is not my strong point so any help is appreciated
Cheers
