Windows XP can't see shared win 98 printer

K

I have a sharable printer on a win 98 computer that shows
up just fine on my other 98 machines but on two seperate
XP machines the printer is not available. They see the
computer just fine, but not the printer. I have tried both
browsing and typing in the printer name. The printer share
name is 11 Characters with no spaces.

Any ideas greatly appreciated

What happens if you create a share on a drive, Does that
show up.

What Network Protocol are you using?
