About a weeks ago, I had posted about a problem getting an XP machine to connect to our NT4 servers. The suggestions about NetBIOS were right on the money. Now, I am having trouble with the same XP machine accessing a shared resource on a Win98 machine. When trying to map a network drive, the same error as before occurs:"The network path could not be found." I have NetBEUI installed on both machines. The XP computer has no trouble accessing the NT4 machines, neither does the 98 machines. The problem now is between the XP machine and our 98 machines. Could this be another protocol issue, or something else entirely? This is in a domain environment. Let me know if more info is needed. Thanks

Can you ping the 98 Box from the XP box?
Can you view the 98 box in Network Places from the XP Box?
Can you run a nbtstat -A from that XP box?
