adding WinXp pc to Win98 network
The problem has been resolved. Thanks for your help. The problem was discovered to be caused by a half-uninstalled Norton Internet Security on the central Win98 pc. This prevented the WinXP pc from seeing the Win98 file shares on it but they could be seen by other Win98pcs. NIS could not be removed so it was reactivated, but without the security set, so that it did nothing. That's it.

Thanks for posting back ..that is why people advise to "uninstall" firewalls and such for trouble shooting... unfortunately Norton is bad for leaving things behind on an uninstall. good to hear you got it working :
