Create a user account with the same user name and password on XP as on win98. Check the workgroup name, TCP/IP address and subnet mask. You will be able to access XP from W98 box ? if the same user name and password (which you used to logon to 98) is present on XP box. Check permissions and shares on XP.

i can now access both of the computers through the other, except for when the internet firewall is enabled on xp. Is there anyway to shut off the firewall yet still be safe??
