win 98 and XP sharing...

[Guest]

hi, hope anyone can help me out...

i have a Win98SE w/s that serves as a file server, complete with rights and
privileges settings, it works well with other Win98SE clients... here's where
my problem is, WinXP clients cannot access shared folders that has a
password!!! but there is no problem if the folders doesn't have a password...

i don't have a domain, it's just a workgroup... i have already disabled the
firewall too.

any thoughts? thanks in advance...
