What happens if you try to access the 1st w2k box directly from win98? On win98, type the other computer's name in the Start | Run box in this format: \\computer -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
