It could also depend on your file systems. Windows 98 uses
Fat or Fat32 while Windows XP defaults to NTFS (though you can change that during installation of XP). Generally speaking, FAT32 cannot see NTFS drives/files and vice versa. Of course, looking at the post again it seems all computers are using FAT32 so you can access the files back and forth. In these cases it's best to disable auto-logon. -----Original Message----- On Wed, 9 Jun 2004 11:05:49 -0600, "Mike Ryan" wrote: Also: My win98 machine will not let me login.

Wrong. NTFS and FAT don't matter in networking.

If you have firewall software on the XP computers, disable or remove it.
