Networking Win98 & WinXP?

Anyone running a network with 98 and XP machines? and are you having any problems with getting your XP machines to see your 98 machines?

I have not got the whole story on what the problem is yet, but a friend's dad has a small home network one machine running 98 and the other XP, the 98 machine can ping the XP machine but not vice versa. Anyone have any similar problems? If so did you get a resolution?

I should be talking to his dad tommorow so if I get anymore info I will post, but I just wanted to go in with maybe a few ideas ahead of time.

I have my XP and 98 machines networked, their fine. How have you got yours hooked up? Crossover cable? Hub? Router? Switch? Did you specify the IP addresses or have it automatically obtain the address? Get back to me....

A common problem is not logging into the Win98 PC with a username that has rights to the shared folder on the XP machine.

there are about 3-4 current & recent threads covering networking between win98 & xp.

rather than recover old ground, i would suggest you read thru those for some helpful hints and see if they can solve your problems.
