Baz,

No, in the properties of C:, I haven't enabled file-sharing on the whole drive. I 
do have specific folders called "share" on each computer on which I have enabled 
Share. In Windows Explorer, you can see the share/hand icon on these folders. 

(As an aside, I was trying to avoid enabling full-drive share on the laptop since 
I will also be using it to connect to a network at school.)

I am wondering if my problem has something to do with my Login and / or Password 
set-up. 

My desktop username is "desktop" and say the password is DT. To be consistent, the 
laptop username is "laptop" with password LT. I have added the username "desktop" 
and password DT to the laptop Windows2000 using control panel (Users and Passwords) 
to Add a New User.

I log on to Windows2000 (on the laptop) as "laptop" with password LT and onto Windows98 
(on the desktop) as "desktop" with password DT. Someone with a similar problem suggested 
that I logon to the desktop using the username "laptop" and password LT. It was my 
understanding that on a network, two computers cannot have the same username.

I can try enabling full-drive share on my C: (I will try that later today), but I'm 
wondering if I'm even logging on correctly.

Thanks,
Steve
