Just curious xan, do you have some similar link for w9x?, I'm trying to get my Win98 to browse files on XP through vmware (vpc too) and I just can't seem to get it working. I think I've tried almost everything now. I come as far as to be able to ping from Win98 to XP, but no more. The other way around it works though, XP -> Win98.

(I'm setting it up for testing w9x/ME problems with DC++, that's why I'm asking)

Do you want to set up file and printer sharing between 98 and XP? I think we are talking about ICS here. But I ran into the same problem the last time I tried to go from win98 -> XP, but not the other way around, like you said. Sorry.

Ok, np, sorry for interrupting a thread like this. I'll split it

It may have to do with plaintext passwords versus encrypted ones. I've just been dragging files from my PC onto my VMWare machine, and have pretty much given up on ever networking with win95/98/ME. NT is just so much nicer...

Yes, it might be that password thing, well, I've given up to get the w98 -> XP way working, and besides that I can copy from XP to w98 so it's ok anyway.
Thanks for your info though
