Networking Problems in Windows 98


If after setting up TCP/IP networking on a win98 machine, you cannot connect to any other computers in the Network Neighborhood, add another networking protocol. I usually add NetBEUI. Then restart the computer and the Network Neighborhood links usually work fine. The error message that is usually given is "Unable to Browse the Network". This is a known windows 98 problem. See this article for more info. Though it talks about adding TCP/IP with a problem with NetBEUI, it is also true with just TCP/IP.
