I have five computers, three of which run 2K Pro, two which
run 98SE. I don't know how to set up file and print shares on
the 2KPro machines so the 98 machines can access them.
Right now, my 2K machines can read everyone, but the 98SE
machines can only read from each other.

Don't tell me to upgrade the 98SE machines, I have reasons for
leaving them that way. I need to know what to do on my 2K
machines or 98 machines or both so I can share drives
among them.

Create a user account on the win2K with the identical username/password
used to log into the win98 computer.
 
OR if there are NO SECURITY ISSUES you can go in and remove the check
from the box that says that the guest account is disabled on the Win2k
machines. Then you have to actually share the drives on the Win2k
machines. If the little hand isn't under the drive it IS NOT shared!
