Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Alan R. Since updating my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7, I can no longer communicate with an older Windows 98 computer which I have connected to it.
I have assigned and IP address to the Windows 98 computer and I have added it to the list of trusted networks on my security center firewall McAfee , as this was suggested as a possible solution.
It didn't work. I need to be able to have the older Windows 98 computer on my home network for what one might consider a dumb reason I have an older scanner on that computer, and the rather large files that scanners create are otherwise difficult to transfer to the new computer. The Windows 7 computer sees the network connection but that's as far as things go. How can I get the Windows 7 and Windows 98 computers to see and talk to each other? Quick access.

Thanks, Novak. Friday, May 14, AM. Novak you obviously did not care to understand my original post in. In my registry editor under the edit menu there is not a Add Value. So the instructions are wrong. Saturday, May 15, AM. Steve as this is a froum for IT Pro's at times posting the answer assumes some skills.

It's a kludge, but it was all I could do without going insane. HTH, Joe. Tripredacus Posted October 26, Posted October 26, edited. Sign up to join this community.
