[WinMac] Sharing Printers/Files w/win boxes
Matt Montagne(montagmj[at]mail.milwaukee.k12.wi.us)
I am trying to create small network of computers at the elementary school I work at. Each workgroup has six HP Vectra VL computers (running Win '95) with factory installed 10/100 Mb 3COM Fast Etherlink XL Network Interface Cards. They are all linked together with an Ansante Friendly Net 8 Port Hub. I would like them to be able to share one of the computer's HP Deskjet Printers (it is not an ethernet printer.) I enabled file sharing at all stations and I enabled print sharing at the station that is attached to the printer. Each station has a unique network identity and they are all a part of the same workgroup. The primary Netork Logon is Client for Microsoft Networks and NetBUEI is installed and running. The Device Manager shows that the computer recognizes the NIC. Also, all activity LED's on the hub and on the boxes are green. With all of this said, each time I go to Network Neighborhood and I try to browse the Entire Network I receive a message saying, "Unable to Browse the Network. The Network is not accessible." I am very comfortable placing a Mac on a network and I don't know why this is so difficult. Do I have to create a password that users use when the boxes are booted up? Right now I just click "Cancel" in the Network Password Dialogue box after the boxes boot up. What am I forgetting to do here?
Thanks for your help.
