security access with XP Pro and Win 98

[Bob P]

Hi,

I have a home network between 2 computers, one with XP
Pro and the other has Win 98. Using simple file sharing
I can share files between both systems.

How do I set up restricted access to folders on the XP
Pro machine from the Win 98 machine?

I have turned off simple file sharing and have tried
setting up user accounts and groups. I set up one user
in the Remote Access group. But whatever I do, I cannot
get access from the Win 98 machine. It seems to be
either all or nothing.

Thanks for your help,

Bob
