In attempting to setup a home network, my friend has come across this problem and I have no answer for him. Maybe someone can help us out. It seems that when he tries to access the server from the client all he sees there is IPC$ and not the shared folder he setup. What seems to be the problem here? IPC cannot be deleted or removed as it re-appears upon reboot.
Server is Win2kpro
Client is Win98se
2 nic setup via crossover cable
