Here's my problem. I had setup a laptop with win95 and compressed the drive. Then I have a win98 desktop with and uncompressed drive. When I went to use interlnk/intersvr - using the desktop as the server - I was unable to see the files on the desktop in the laptop's windows explorer. All I got was a short garbled line of code. Any ideas? This has worked for me in the past but then again they were two win98 boxes and they were both uncompressed drives. Is win95 the problem or the compressed drive? Do I need a different version of interlnk/intersvr?

If your Win98 uses the FAT32 hard drive standard and your Win95 uses the old FAT16, then your laptop won't be able to access the desktop hard drive. Try using the laptop as the server. Your desktop should be able to read the laptop without problems.

duh! Good point. thx preston.

Interlnk & Intersvr are a DOS bassed program, but can be used well with 3.x, however they can be used with 95 but they make the system slow dramatically - but i dont know why. I find them useful, make a boot updisk for 1 machine (LAPTOP) so it boots into intersvr and the other machine (DESKTOP) runs with interlnk installed with the config.sys file - then try it - Sorry if it doesn't work for you but that is all I can suggest.

If you did this in DOS the problem would probably solve itself.

pls send me soon
