Hello Tech Guys. Long time no see.
I recently acquired a new XP machine and moved my Win98SE machine to a different room. I have a wireless router connected between the two machines. An ethernet cable goes to the XP and the PCI wireless adapter is installed on the Win98 machine. Everything seems to being working fine. I have good internet access on both machines. I have a home network set up as well between the two machines. The only thing that concerns me is that sometimes the two machines do not see each other on the Microsoft Client Network. Sometimes I have to open the Network Neighborhood shortcut on the Win98 machine a couple of times before it lists both machines on the network. I have also noticed that if I reboot the XP machine, I also need to reboot the Win98 machine to reestablish a windows network connection again. I have print and file sharing on both the XP and Win98 machines. Can anyone suggest how to keep the two different machines connect all the time so the Win98 machine doesn't have to search for the XP machine each time I need it?
