network neighborhood

I have connected my laptop to my LAN but I cant seem to get it to share resources, I can share the internet connection ok so I know its working but cant share resources and I don’t even have a network neighborhood Icon on the desktop, am using Windows 98 SE

Thanks

By sharing resources are you referring to sharing files? Do you have file and printer sharing installed?

Can you get to the network settings through the control panel?

If network neighbourhood does not appear on the desktop in 9x then one of 3 things are happening:

1. Poledit has been used to remove it from the desktop
2. Tweakui has been used to remove it from the desktop
3. NO network components (including a dialup adapter) was detected and therefore not installed.

or client for microsoft networks is not installed.

go to start->settings->control panel "network" then 'add' 'client' 'add' 'microsoft' 'client for microsoft networks' and select it as your primary network logon on the main network tab.
