Hi
I have a problem connecting a Vista Home Premium computer to a Windows 98 mapped network drive on the 98 machine. They are both on the same network. The drive is mapped fine on the the Vista computer and the files can be seen however when I run a program from the mapped network drive it says the file is missing.
I have checked the drive mapping and it is exactly the same as on a windows XP computer that runs the program fine.

Any suggestions ?

Check the firewall.

Are the workgroup names the same?

Is file sharing enabled on both properly?

Are there common user names and passwords on both systems?
