I recently added a computer with Windows Vista to my 4 port D-Link Ethernet
Router at home (not wireless). However, I can't see my two other computers on the network which are running Windows98 and can't seem to share any files with them. My two other computers are able to share files. I want to copy files from my old computers running on Windows98 to the new one running Vista. How canI solve this problem so my new computer can see the others on the network? -- Boots at Ottawa, Canada |

No I can't ping the Win98 computer. NetBIOS is enabled over TCP/\IP Tried
everything, but can't get the Vista computer to share folders with the others on the network. Many should have bought a computer with Windows XP instead of Vista! -- Boots at Ottawa, Canada "Robert L.
