How to make WinXP Pro SP1 connected to Win98

W

wellz

I've got more than a thousand PCs to be upgraded.
The PCs are devided into several workgroups.
My problem simply descripted like this :

Supposed, there are 5 PCs in a workgroup. Two with WinXP
Pro, the rest with Win98. I'm sharing a folder in a PC
with WinXP Pro and it can be seen in the other WinXP Pro
PC ( in another words -- there's no problem with it )
But, how can I make the Win98 PCs access the shared
folder ? Everytime I try to connect to the WinXP Pro PC
through the WIn98 PC ---> access denied :(
Win98 CAN NOT ACCESS THE RESOURCES THAT SHARED IN WinXP
I'd already run the tool called Network Setup via floppy -
--> still not work. Some of my friends told that all of
those PCs sould be in a same workgroup --- I've done it
from the beginning :((
I wonder how .....

Log on to the 98 PCs with a user account that exists on the XP PC.
