1. Both computers must be in the same workgroup.
2. Both computers must have different names.
3. File and print sharing for MS Networks must be enabled on both computers.
4. On the 98 box, primary login must be Client for MS Networks, and you must log in. You do not have to set a password unless you want to.
5. In order to access the 98 box from the XP box, the XP firewall must be disabled and something must be shared on the 98 box - and the 98 box must not have a firewall installed.

If you could explain how to 1. check to see if I can access my 98se comp. through the network, and 2. explain your 1,2,3,4,5 so I can make sure I am doing it right. I`m not sure this is o.k., so if not please let me know. If you would like to go directly to my email that would be fine. It is
imhowie@comcast.net. As far as I know, numbers 1,2, and 3 are right but I`m not sure about 4 and 5. Thanks so much for your time and help. This forum has helped me in the past with problems, this is why I come here. Again thanks.
