Okay, I just upgraded my Pentium III system to Windows 2000 Professional a couple months ago, and so far, havoc has ensued in sharing my files with my older machines on the network. I understand NT is a different networking technology, and I've also been having some issues in Linux as well, but I think they are both the same as one another, who knows......
Anyway, the physical connection is to a Linksys DSL/Cable router, both the DOS and Windows For Workgroups 3.11 machines attach to the router with the PIII, and then it routs them to the internet for internet access.
On all three machines, I have three network protocols installed....TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and IPX/SPX. The only one not using DHCP to create the IP addresses is the DOS based 286, as it hangs during DHCP detection.
Anyway, the machines can see each other on the network for the most part, though the 286 machine can't find the Pentium III at all using the NET GUI, however, the IP address of the Win2K machine is pingable.
If I try to access the 286's shares from the Pentium III machine, I get an error message that reads "The Network Request Is Not Supported" when I click on the 286 icon in the "My Network Places" window. And if I right click on properties, it says "the server XXXX can't support remote requests". The 286 is running Microsoft Network Client 3.0.
Now, if I try to access the shares on the Pentium III manually, I get this.....
ERROR 3652: This Command is only availible on enhanced workstations.
To the lesser of the networking problems, the 486 (WFWG311) can't get to the Pentium III system via the File Manager. If I click on the icon for my Pentium III system, it says ACCESS HAS BEEN DENIED. If I manually try to access the share, I get a list up that says "You must supply a password to make this connection". I never created any sort of "password" for the shares, so they should be openly accessable.
I'm trying to make sure this is all squared away before I decide to hook my newly acquired IBM ThinkPad 755CD Laptop up to the network. I have plans to use that for work, and it runs Windows 98 SE.
