Win98 Machine can not access WinXP machine

[Ashwin]

I have connected WinXP Machine and Win98 Machine through Network Adaptor.

My XP machine can access 98 machine. In 98 machine's Network Neighbourhood,
my XP machine is shown, but when I try to access it, I receive the message
"
\\Desktop is not accessible. No permission to access resaurce".

How can I have permission to access XP from 98?

On which machine, actually I need to set the permissions and how?

To be specific, I have also faced the same problem with a Win2003 Server
machine. XP can access 2003Server but not visa-versa.

I have also checked this with different Virtual PCs (from 98 to Win2000)
and
have faced the same problem.

Ashwin,

The "No permission to access resaurce" type of message can result from several
conditions.
- Authentication / authorisation problem.
- Browsing (no not Internet Explorer) problem.
- Firewall problem.
- Name resolution problem.

Resolution of the authentication problem, between a Windows 98 and Windows XP
system, is affected by whether the Windows XP is Home or Pro, and if Pro, is it
running Simple File Sharing.

If you could provide details, instead of simply re posting your previous problem
