 VT>                           Hello, All!

 VT> Is there anybody here?               

 VT> I have a problem with my Win'95! I try to set network based on
 VT> tcp/ip  between two computers with W'98 and W'95.       

 VT> I have installed:

 VT> -File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks

 VT> But W'95 don't want to connect to another computer. Why?

You're missing the most critical part of your question. How did you
configure the TCP/IP settings on the Windows PCs?

Did you create a HOSTS file in C:\WINDOWS?

Did you create an LMHOSTS file in C:\WINDOWS?

Can you do the following from a Command Window prompt:

   (a) ping the other PC?

   (b) ping the IP address configured on the same PC?

   (c) ping to 127.0.0.1?

   (d) which of the above can you do from which PC?


IF all of the above works, have you tried to do a "Find Computer"?

Are both PCs in the same workgroup?

Is NETBios on TCP/IP enabled?
