Is there any way to stop Windows 98 from doing that? Or will I have to dual boot with DOS 6.22? I've just noticed - Windows 98 has remmed some of the network lines. I have no practical knowledge of this because I don't really have anything to share between an old system and my new ones, so I don't really care 😀Ĭopy code to clipboard 1 rem C:\WIN3\net startĤ mode con codepage prepare=((850) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)Ħ keyb uk,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sysĨ rem SET PATH=%PATH% C:\PROGRA~1\BORLAND\DELPHI5\BIN C:\PROGRA~1\BORLAND\DELPHI5\PROJECTS\BPLġ6 rem - By Windows 98 Network - C:\win3\net initializeġ8 rem - By Windows 98 Network - C:\NETWORK\Ģ4 rem - By Windows 98 Network - C:\WIN3\net start default security settings just do not allow it Remember, without any guest file sharing enabled, you won't be able to browse from your win95/98/ME machines to an vista or newer windows. fact is, WFW3.11 is designed for small networks, while plain ol' win3.1 isn't.


MS made one that worked ONLY with NICs, not modems: but it is fast unlike trumpet or shiva (both of which support modems). netbiox and IPX/SPX is only supported out of the box, but if you want TCP/IP support, you need to install winsock to allow this. not only is it faster and more stable, it DOES natively support SMB file sharing (what windows NT and all newer windows uses) over the network from file manager.

stop wasting time with it and install windows for workgroups 3.11. some in depth research is recommended beforehand: Īs for file sharing from windows 3.1, you can't do it easily. it can be changed through secpol.msc under local polices\security options under "network security: lan manager authentication level". You can also lower the security level in vista/7 to allow NTLM1 authentication, but it is not recommended. you need to enable NTLM2 this way:Ģ) add the appropriate registry key to enable NTLM2 win95/98 does not support NTLM2 authentication, that's why there's a hold up when you try to login to a vista/7 network share from 9x. you must add the guest username, and the guest usergroup to allow file sharing access from a system that doesn't respect logon credentials (win95/98 )īut that's not it. it will be under the "sharing" tab in the folder properties and inside "advanced sharing". Now for any folders you are sharing in vista/7, you must edit the security settings for that particular folder to have guest file sharing access. it is disabled by default for security reasonsĬlick start, type "secpol.msc" in the search box and press enter (on your keyboard)Įxpand the "local policies" folder, and click on the "security options" folderįind "Accounts: Guest account status", then double click on itĬhange the selection to "enable" and click OK If you need to enable network share access between your 98 and 7 machines, you need to enable guest file sharing in 7.
