This is a temporary solution to access shared resources on the xp machine from the
98 machine.
open a command prompt on 98 machine.
enter in "net view \\ip address of xp machine"
dont need the quotes
now enter "net view \\name of xp machine"
this only works for the current session. you will now be able to access xp shares
in network neighbourhood.
It must be a problem with netbios naming as i understand it.
Hope it helps.
