xp to win98second edition net problem

kmb

Hi all,finally got my cable sorted everything okay if i go xp to xp but when i go xp to win98 second edition i cannot access files even though internet sharing is perfect.i set up win 98se with the floppy method using xp as the host.Any ideas where i am going wrong?regards kieran

both must be in a workgroup

shared level access (w98 network control panel settig)

workgroup must have same name on both systems

yes i have done all this and even though xp can see win98 it says it doesnt have permission?How do i check ip addresses?problem is with win98se!thanks

assume you have a system called XPSYSTEM

it has an administrator account, password is blank

Log onto win 98 as (in full in the user field)

XPSYSTEM\administrator

leave password blank and hit OK
