Inaccessible solutions in a local area network

Computers that have Windows XP installed on a local area network cannot access each other with Windows 98-installed computers and computers that have Windows XP installed are not able to communicate with each other. When the workstation accesses the server, the workstation's Network Neighborhood can see the name of the server, but you cannot see any shared content after clicking it, or you cannot find the network path, no access, and so on, summed up the following points:
When XP is first used, create a new network connection for the Network Setup Wizard in the properties of the Internet neighborhood.
1, check the physical connection between the computer.
NIC is the basic device of network connection, in the desktop computer, the light on the back of each NIC should be bright, which indicates that the connection is normal. If it is not lit, check that the hub or switch is turned on, and that the LEDs for each client connection are lit, which indicates that the link is normal. Next check the Wire's Crystal head contact is good.
2. Ensure that TCP/IP is installed on all computers and that it works properly.
TCP/IP is installed by default in Windows XP. However, it is not easy to reinstall TCP/IP If a network problem is to be uninstalled: This connection, displayed in the Local Area Connection property, uses the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) entry in the following list of items, and you will find that the Uninstall button is unavailable (disabled).
This is because the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP/IP) stack is the core component of the Microsoft xp/2003 and cannot be deleted. \/internet In this case, if you need to reinstall TCP/IP to restore the TCP/IP stack to its original state. You can use the Netshell utility to reset the TCP/IP stack so that it reverts to the state of the operating system when it was first installed. Type the following command at the command prompt, and then press ENTER: netsh int ip reset c: Esetlog.txt, where Resetlog.txt log files that record command results, be sure to specify that the Resetlog.txt log file and the full path are specified here. Running this command results in the same effect as removing and reinstalling the TCP/IP protocol.
3. Use the ping command to test the connection between two computers in your network:
Ping other computer IP, at the command prompt, type ping x.x.x.x (where x.x.x.x is the IP address of another computer), and then press ENTER. You should be able to see several replies from another computer, such as:
Reply from x.x.x.x:bytes=32 time<1ms ttl=128
If you do not see these replies, or if you see "Request timed out", there may be a problem with your local computer. If the ping command executes successfully, you determine that the computer is connected properly and you can skip the next step. If you do not see these replies, or if you see "Request timed out", there may be a problem with your local computer. Ping local IP, if you see "Request timed out", there may be a problem with your local computer.
4, use ping command to test the network name resolution is normal
