I have my main computer that is running win xp pro and another computer that
is running win 98. How do i set the win 98 machine to see the drives on the xp machine? With xp i can just add new network place, but how do i do that in 98? thanks tcoop |

Win98se should see any drive on any computer on the network that has
sharing enabled for the drive. You just look in Network Places. hawk Tom C wrote: I have my main computer that is running win xp pro and another computer that is running win 98.

True in theory, but the NT-based permission schemes play havoc with that. You only need to cruise Usenet groups like this one to see how much trouble people have actually making it work. Personally, I think a far better solution is a Solaris (or Linux) server running Samba. hawk Tom C wrote: I have my main computer that is running win xp pro and another computer that is running win 98.
