When you’re finished, if you still need to set up
file and printer sharing so your PC shows up in
Network Neighborhood, proceed to the Enabling
File & Printer Sharing section.

If you don’t see anything at all, press the F5 key a
few times on your keyboard to refresh the screen.

If you only see your computer in Network
Neighborhood, skip to problem 6 in the
Troubleshooting section.

If you see all computers on the network except
yours, and the other PCs can’t see your computer,
see the Troubleshooting section.

Enabling File and Printer Sharing in
Windows 98

File and printer sharing in Windows 98 allows you
to share files or printers that are on your computer
with other PCs on the network. If you don't enable
file or printer sharing, your PC will be "invisible"
to all of the other PCs on the network, (even your-
self).

1. To set up sharing for the first time on a comput-
er, click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, then
double-click on Network.

Click on the Configuration tab, followed by the
File and Printer Sharing button. The File and
Printer Sharing window will appear.
