XP and 9x machines. Shared folders issue...

[jameson]

A gentleman who I have done networking work for in the past is having
some problems.
His setup:
a windows 95 machine, a windows 98 se machine, and a new XP pro
machine, all networked via a hub.
Network is fine, rockin and rollin. But for the past few months he has
had an issue with the 9x users not being able to retrieve files from
his XP machine, nor able to paste files into his shared folders on his
XP. I setup all the shared folders and stuff and it seemed to work
fine before I left.

However, he is able to retrieve files from the 9x machines and paste
files into their shared folders just fine. Any ideas to get me
started?
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you either have the Internet Firewall that's included in XP enabled... (Local Aria Connection -> Properties -> Advanced)
if this isn't the case check the Security on the Share... (rightclick the folder you are shareing -> Shareing tab -> select the share name, and click the permissions button) as well as the Security on the Folder you are shareing (rightclick -> securty tab

Hope this helps
