Well, I'm not sure what exactly I did, but my mini-network is functioning at the moment.

I think I got rid of the 'permission' msg in XP by lowering the security level of my PC-Cillin firewall to medium. I had disabled the XP firewall, but forgot the AV program came with one as well.

I tried assigning IPs, but was unsuccessful. When I went back to auto IP on both systems, the network began to be recognized. I must've rebooted each machine fifteen times or more experimenting with settings, but it's working now!

I often had the 98 box hanging up due to errors. For example, I had several times where I was told to reload due to an error loading VMOUSE. I'm assuming that network settings were causing alot of that, but it seems to have recovered now.

Ah well. That's what's happening! Thx all.
