WinNT setup and network ??
Ok, got my dual boot setup WinNT / Win95B working as I want. I've setup, thru NICs and a crossover, a network with a Win98 machine. My 98 machine and NT / 95 all have the same Workgroup, etc., and I'm positive they are all setup correctly with one caveat, I can't test everything on the NT machine because it can't be seen by the 98 machine.
The NT machine can see and share Drives/Directories with the 98 but the 98 cannot see the NT machine. The exception is that although I can see the partitions on the 98 machine and the files can be exchanged I can't get NT to print thru the 98.
The 95 OS can share all functions both ways with the 98 as it should be able to with the NT OS.
My guess, and it's only that since I'm just learning WinNT and all it's oddities, is it's related to the fact that I can't launch automatically or manually; Server Service on the NT machine. I always get this message: NOT ENOUGH SERVER STORAGE IS AVAILABLE TO PROCESS THIS COMMAND.
I'm at a loss as to fixing this or even why I'm getting it. Questions: Am I right that I need this service to let the 98 Machine see the NT? What do I do to make this happen if necessary?
Last, and may not be related or may well be, I have the modem setup and dialing out and making a connection with my ISP at 49,333 (my usual) but I can't get IE, Netscape or Inoculate to climb aboard and use the connection. I think it may be the Server Service and I only say that from reading the NT handbook which, as with any old Microsoft instructions, is really frustrating.
NT4 SP 5 = 1.6 GB HD, Drive 0, 64 MB RAM, 200MHz, 75 MB page file, over 1/2 free space. TCP/IP & NetBEUI protocals.
Win95B = 6 GB HD, Drive 0 (the rest the same of course except space)
Using 2 completely separate drive installations so neither have any need to know of each other's existance for booting. Using XOSL with "swap drives" enabled to boot.
Long I know but relevant I think. Thanks.
