Boom Unable To Browse Network Error

It was wokring fine...no changes or installs. Now I can see and access one computer from the primary one. But when I try to do it the other way around...it gives me the old Unable to browse network error.

I have all my TCP/IP settings set propoerly. I can ping back and forth between both machines, I can even access the web through my cable router gateway (3com, 4 port 100 speed hub, with print and com port sharing on hub)

I am using a linksys pcmcia card for the laptop, running win98se, and an SMC 10/100 NIC in the desktop running win 98se too.

I am stuck. When I have had this problem before, I would just run winipcfg and renew everything, and it was all good again.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

Have you tried installing the Netbeui protocol and using it for filesharing instead of TCP/IP? Let me know what you can come up with and hope this helps.

I'm not sure if this will do anything, but you can try going into the properties of File and Printer Sharing and changing the Browser Master settings from Automatic to Disabled.
