Win 98 not asking to logon network why?

I have two win98 machines peer to peer tcp-ip
one machine can see both.in network neighborhood
second machine I just upgraded from win 3.11 to 98 cannot see either until I log off
and logon as a username why does'nt it ask me to logon to the network when booting up
What setting am I missing?
regards Alan

have you checked the Network and sharing
options one machinee against the other ?
All options should be exactly the same.
good luck !

The only way I know of to fix this (or at least the easiest way) is to change the following registry key:

hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\network\real mode net\autologon

Change the value from "00 00 00 00" to "01 00 00 00". If that key does not exist, create it as a binary value key (Edit, New, Binary Value) with the value you want "00" for no logon, "01" for logon. Make sure you backup your registry first and know how to restore in case you screw it up. Also
check out the Yasmin post "Logging onto network automatically won't work . . ." for more info.

WORKER A TREAT CMULDER THANK YOU

I don't really know what that last comment means, goodjohn, but I'm guessing its Brit slang of some sort indicating the suggestion worked for you. Is that correct???

WORKED A TREAT
MEANS WORKED WELL

Ahhh-as I thought! We do prohibit the King's English here and require all posters to use the Yankee version.
