file sharing

[frank]

We have a network with both win 98 and win XP machines.
Our domain server is a win 2000 server . We cannot get
the newer machines running XP to file share with the
win98 machines. We share a folder on the Xp machine and
the only other users on the network that can see it are
the Win XP users.
Thanks in advance

Make sure that the share name of the folder on the XP machine isn't
longer than 12 characters. If it is, 98 won't be able to see it.
