Oh....get this


I just found this on www.microsoft.com

Attention
In accordance with the Microsoft Product Support Lifecycle, no-charge support for Windows 98 will end on July 1, 2003. Paid-only support will continue to be available from Microsoft at $35 per incident. Support will also be available from some third party providers.

Microsoft will also continue to offer a variety of self-help resources on the Product Support Services Web site until at least January 16, 2006, two years after phone support for Windows 98 ends on January 16, 2004. These resources include the Microsoft Knowledge Base and Newsgroups.

Thats a Win98 problem then, nothing with XP. However, for the 9x machine to access the XP machine it will need an account to log in with. Whats the error message the 9x box gives you? Have you checked out the Microsoft knowledge base?

"Unable to browse network"

And you installed File and Printer Sharing on the machine? Yea, you must have for the XP machine to get to it. Check out: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;260214
