Many users complain that a computer installed with Windows XP in the LAN cannot access each other with a computer installed with Windows 98, windows XP and Windows XP cannot communicate with each other. I have seen many tips from experts.
The following four points are summarized:
1. Enable the Guest account;
Second, install the netbeui protocol;
Third, check whether the Guest account is disabled in the Local Security Policy settings;
Fourth, set the shared folder.
However, even if we have done all these four points, we still cannot solve the problem of mutual access between Windows XP.
To achieve mutual access in Windows XP, you need to set this step:
On the Windows desktop, right-click "my computer", select "properties", and click the "computer name" tab to see if your LAN workgroup name appears, for example, "tl2000. Click the "Network ID" button to start the "Network ID wizard": click "Next" and select "the local machine is part of the commercial network and connected to other working computers "; click "Next", select "company uses networks without domains", click "Next", and enter the name of your LAN Workgroup, such as "tl2000 ", click "Next" again, and then click "finish" to complete the settings.
After the computer is restarted, computers in the LAN can access each other.
