Re: Win98SE Missing Network Neighborhood

You need to install Client for Microsoft Networks in order for Win98SE to install Network Neighborhood. In your network settings, make sure your TCP/IP protocol along with Dialup Adapter are installed (so it doesn't freak out if you have a dialup modem and those aren't installed).

Honestly, you really don't need anything else except whatever your network card installs as far as protocols go. If you have Netware, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, or any AOL protocols (if you don't use AOL), you can remove those.

Where it states "Primary Windows Logon" in the drop-down box below the protocol window, change it from "Windows Logon" to "Client for Microsoft Networks". Click OK and have your Win98SE CD handy (NOT a restore CD, but an actual Win98SE CD) to install the files you need. Be sure it copies from the CD itself, not the .cab files in an installation directory on your hard drive. Then reboot when it's done and it should be there after that.

If you already have Client for MS Networks selected in the drop down box before all this, change it to Windows Logon and reboot so that Windows removes it. Then go back and follow my instructions which will re-install Client for Microsoft Networks and that will put Network Neighborhood on the PC.
