When I try to access a shared file on a win 98 machine through a w2k pro machine, I get this:"\\xxxx is not accessible. the account is not authorized to log in from this station. Also should w2k pro have and active directory?

The account you are logged on with at the Win98 machine has to be added as a local user on the Win2K machine and given User or Power User access to that machine in order to share files between the two. Win2K Pro does not run Active Directory, only Win2K Server can act as a domain controller and run Active Directory.

Hope this helps!
