Xp can't share with 98

[ypx]

I have this Network between a Win98 and a WinXP computer.
the 98 can share with the XP but it doesn't have the
permission to get something from the XP. How can XP give
him "permission"

thanks

try making sure that win98 is not defined with an ip address...just let
windows detect the ip address.

hope this helps.

I don't quite understand what you mean.
I gave the 98 an ip address, does that mean it's defined?

Greetings --

On the WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with non-blank
password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
shares. Log on to the other PC(s) using those account(s), and you
will be able to access the designated shares, provided your network is
configured properly. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in firewall
is disabled on the internal LAN connection.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:
