Ok perhaps someone can help shed some light on a problem i am having...

I run a Win2k Pro machine at home which is to act as the dialin inbound machine.

I run a Win98 laptop while i am away, this is the machine i wish to use to dialin to my Win2k machine.
My aim is to use RealVNC to connect to my win2k machine.


I have set up the inbound connection on win2k and i can get my laptop to dialup to it fine with no problems at all.
However... I am unable to see the machine (I have shared a couple of folders to make sure there is a presence).
The win98 machine does not give me the option to create any shares as networking is not presently installed (no network card)


With RealVNC i am able to connect from the Win2k machine (which has the inbound connection) to the win98 laptop and control the win98 laptop... however i wish to dial from the laptop but control the win2k machine.

All well and good one might say... however i am continuously getting a error that says it is unable to find the win2k machine. There is not a IP conflict, although i have noticed that the subnet masks are different... win2k machine shows 255.255.255.255 but the win98 machine shows 255.255.0.0, I have tried looking for a place to change this (in a network environment it is usually easy) but via dialup it doesn't give the option to change it.

So the status so far is that i can dial in to my win2k machine and connect with realvnc to the win98 machine, however i am unable to see the network shares, i am unable to connect from the win98 machine to win2k with realvnc.

Both machines have different identity's and are both in "WORKGROUP".

Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be wrong?
Thanks
Freddy
