I have installed a network that consists of a SMC
wireless router with windows XP hard wired and Win 98
with the wireless card. All seemed to go well until I
tried to share out the files. When I look in My network
places I see both of the machines. When I click on the 98
machine it gives me an error message that I do not have
the permissions to use this resource and you need to
contact your admin. I have made sure both cards had
netbios over tcpip checked. I have made sure that both
check marks were checked on sharing the files on the 98.
I have made sure that both machines have file and print
sharing client installed. I am able to ping both machines
with the address but when I try to ping with name I get
host not found. Both computers can access the internet
through the router with no problem. I ipconfig /all the
XP machine and find the node type to be Hybird. The
Internet connection sharing is turned off. Both machines
are named as workgroup and have different computer names.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Do you have the win 98 share password protected. I have
had problem writing to a share with full acess password.
Set it to full acess (no password) and it works fine

Can't hurt, but password access to shares on Windows 98 from
Windows XP Professional is actually possible.

You find it mentioned in the chapter "Slow browsing ..." in
