Win98SE - XP workgroup

Generally speaking to get a 98 computer to work on an XP Work-group you first need to run the Network Setup Wizard on the XP box and chose File & Printer Sharing and then at the end Create a Floppy.

You then take this floppy and place it into a running 98 unit and open the floppy drive generally the A drive and click on the file that has been copied. This will start to run and then ask you to reboot the 98 computer. Remember to remove the floppy and on the restart you finish running through the network setup process and remember to allow File & Printer Sharing here as well.

Once this is finished you need to share something on the 98 Machine/s as by default they have nothing shared. Once this is done you should then be able to see the shared components from the XP box.

Alternately, if you make sure that the 98 box is logged on to an account with a password, AND that same account and password has been created on the XP box, it will also work. (The workgroup is not important, if you don't need to browse to the other machine... in which case access shares by //machinename/sharename in an internet browser)

Create user account on windows XP machine same as the computer name on wim 98.
set the password there any and tick password never expires.
and access your PC from win 98 PC and put the same password there.....surely it work.
