Networking Vista and Windows 98
I am attempting to network a Windows 98 desktop computer and a Windows Vista laptop over the wireless router. I have put both computers in the same workgroup and shared the C drive on both. I am able to see and access the files located on the Windows 98 hard drive from the Vista laptop. When I try to access the network neighbourhood to see the vista computer, it doesn't show any files. It does the little icon as tho it's searching for files and just stays on that. I'm not sure how to fix it.

Have you shared any folders or drives on the Vista machine?
