Computer LAN can be divided into two network forms with domains and without domains. For Windows XP system computers to join the domain, just set up the network correctly, it is mutually mutually mutual with other machines in the domain (no matter what operating system) Visits almost no problem. However, the most common in daily network maintenance is the local area network without a domain. For Windows XP system users in this case, the first thing to solve is the problem of visiting the machine using other different operating systems. Now use two machines to interconnect as an example to explain the solution.
In order to achieve two PC interconnections, the purpose of resource sharing is achieved. First, through the network card to connect these two machines, do twisted pair crystal heads should pay attention to the line pair to change, one-on-three, two pairs ( That is, I made a Class A line and another as a D cable).
If the two P C operating systems are Windows 98, it is easy to achieve resource sharing, which is no longer described here. The current request is: a machine WINDOWS 98, a machine with Windows XP to achieve visit. So first install the operating system, then configure it.
After installing the operating system, after the basic network settings (network adapters, network protocols, network customers, etc.), when implementing the interviews, the following problems appear: Windows XP can access Windows 98, but Windows 98 cannot access Windows XP. A dialog is often popped up, asking you to enter the IPC $ password, even if you enter the password of the Administrator. The reason for this is that Windows XP login requirements are to have usernames and passwords. To implement Windows 98, you can access Windows XP, you need to make the following three steps.
Step 1 >>
Many small local area networks are built using N e T B E U I (NetBIOS Extension User Interface) protocol, and the default is no longer supported by default in WindowsXP. The easiest way to solve this problem is to install the NetBeui protocol on Windows XP. There is a NetBeui.txt file under the ValueAdd / MSFT / Net / NetBeui of the Windows XP installation CD. This file describes how to install NetBeui protocols on Windows XP:
1 Copy nbf.sys to% systemroot% / system32 / drivers / directory (% systemroot% / is a directory path name to install Windows XP);
2 Copy Netnbf.inf to% systemroot% / LNF / directory;
3 Enter "Control Panel" and double-click "Network Connection"
4 On the General tab, select "Install";
5 Click "Agreement", then "Add";
6 Click Select "Netbeui Protocol" from the list and then determine.
Step 2 >>
Look at whether the security setting is forbidden. Windows 98 cannot access Windows XP when the system guest user is turned on. Click "Start" to enter "Run", enter GPEDIT.MSC. In the "Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policy / User Rights Assignment / Reject" Guest "users can be seen in the" Guest "user. If you delete a guest user here, then other computers can view this computer's shared directory from the online neighbor, and you can access the resources of Windows XP.
Step 3 >>
Directory sharing in Windows XP. Because Windows XP is a simple sharing method by default, this is not possible to set access to folders or files, so you have to remove this default. Under Explorer, click on "Tool", "Folder Item", in the "View" tab, check the "Advanced Settings" Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended) "to check the check box before . After the above steps, after setting a shared folder under Windows XP, Windows 98 can see the shared directory of Windows XP on the Internet. This allows Windows 98 and Windows XP to interpose and achieve resource sharing.
