File and Print sharing between win98 and winXP home

[dude8604]

Is that possible? I'm having problems with it. Is there something that I need to do differently?

no problem with that.

make sure both are using the same protocol. i am using tcp/ip.

make sure both are using the same work group.

make sure file and print serving are turned on for the machine that is sharing.

make sure you set the drive(s) to share.

the rest is just drive mapping.

Did you get this going yet?

I have it all set up, it even sees the other computer's name, but when I click on the computer to see the shared files, it does something for a few seconds, and then says that the computer isn't available.

Can someone help me?

Mebbe time to check everything out. Perhaps starting here will help (courtesy of others on this forum).
