Networking Problem.?

Two computers of my network shows each other in 'Network Neighborhood' but while accesing both the computer it gives message '\\computer name is not accessible. The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again.' I have networking without IP addresses in windows 98 %26amp; XP, and the other computers are accessible by both these computers.

Networking Problem.?
I have a troubleshooting guide at my site below that should help solve this. Hope this helps
Reply:You need to share the folders and/or drives before the other computer can pick them up. simple to do. Click on my computer. Right click the folder or drive you want to share, give the folder a recognizable sharename, click on all subfolder too if you want everything else. Click apply, wait for all files to be changed. Then, go to the other computer and search Network. everything you shared will be there. After you are done moving files, unshare the folders for more security.
Reply:Did you actually share at least one folder on each machine? If you can see the other PC, but nothing is shared, then there is nothing to open. Be very careful what you share, not everything should ever be accessible on the LAN. Your machines must also belong to the some workgroup.
