XP shutdown on accessing another workgroup computer

[David]

XP Home reboots when attempting to access another computer
or printer,Win98 through local workgroup yet will still
print to a shared network printer. Has been working fine,
not sure if a bug in XP Home or if it could be a virus
that does not harm Win98 computers as they work fine. Any
help or ideas would be appreciated.

Hi David,

It appears your computer could be infected with the Blaster virus. For more
