Microsoft Netwok over D-Link Air DWL-122 Wireless USB Adapter

[ogniemi]

Hello,
I had shared drives on Windows 98 and would like to mount them on Windows XP having network over "D-Link Air DWL-122 Wireless USB Adapter". There is no problem to ping W98 from XP and reverse. Also, then I run "nbtstat -a win98name" on XP is shows proper NetBIOS names table from remote W98.

When I try to mount shared W98 drive on XP it fails with error cannot find network. Previously I had cable and everything worked fine - I was able to mount drives from W98 on XP. After I installed Wireless USB adapter I switched off "old" network adapter. Now, the only active NIC devices on XP is wireless one.

When I check on W98 "network neighbours" it sees XP computer but when I do the same on XP it doesn't see the W98 computer.


thx in advance, m.
