Sharing XP disk with Win98 machines

[Guest]

I have old Win98 machines at home and I can't make them see my new laptop
with XP Pro. Maybe there is something I must install in the Win98 PCs.

Hi
You do not need to install any thing, just set the sahring on all computers.

Denis,

Check for services on the WinXP computer, and for network components on all
computers, following this list.

Next, look for a browser conflict between the WinXP and Win98 computers. WinXP
and Win98 browsers don't work well together.

Maybe I should be more precise.
I have of course sharing enable on all machines, TCP/IP configured on all
machines, etc.

I do see the other Win98 machines from my XP notebook and all their shared
folders.

I see the name of the XP machine in "network neighborhood" of the Win98
machines, but when I click I get: "not accessible. The logon server cannot be
found".

Thanks, Denis
