Imtiaz,

Are you using Simple or Advanced File Sharing? If Advanced, check
Local Security Settings (Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Local
Security Policy). Under Local Policies - Security Options, check the
setting "Network access: Sharing and security model for local
accounts", ensure that it is set to "Classic" not "Guest only".

Cheers,
Chuck

I have a similar problem... my new pc is xp my old are 98se and 2000pro... why can't I find the 98se pc on the network with a search? The 98se pc is setup for file sharing, and the 2000pro can find it, but not xp..

Thanks
