How network Vista and DOS computer by router?
(OP)
Hi, I am trying to network two computers using router but both cannot access their shared resources. Each one can ping the other and command net view \\pcname works but without listing shared resources, always after the end you can see: access has been denied. Is it because DOS is using too old Winsock?
I cut off all firewall and UAC and the result: no change at all. When I try to connect from DOS to Vista is a bit better because net view is asking for a password , I type all known passwords used on Vista for administrators and all users and access is still denied. I even created the same account on Vista as I have on DOS with the same password but no positive result again.
However when I connect Windows98 and DOS computers through the same router everything works perfectly, they can exchange shared files.
Also I can network Windows98 with Vista computers, everything works perfect.
So what I shall do now?
I recognized that Vista has no NetBEUI support and you cannot add this protocol from the list of available protocols. In DOS and Windows 98 I have both protocols but default is set for TCPIP.
Thank you for any tips and advice,

What do you think if I use the utility called NTFSDos distributed probably with DOS 7.10 or as a separate program?
I do not have it at the moment but I could browse internet to find it.
Anyway your path brings some light to the darkness ,
Thank you

IIRC I used NDIS drivers downloaded from the NIC manufacturers. Like a lot of my network builds, this one was dismantled within a couple of days.

But any further tips are welcome since nothing is sure ,yet.

See this doc
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239869
It explains NTLM2 that by default Vista is set to.
For a DOS PC you need to change VISTA to use LM Lan Manager(Challenge/Response)if this can be done.
DOS userid/password is sent in clear text.
DOS only use this method (as far as I know)
I think there is a doc on MS Support, somewhere.
