(setup)
i have 3 comps
2 run 98
1 runs XP,
(prob #1)
the XP box does not see the two 98 so i cant send/trade files with the XP box.
(prob #2)
all 3 are on the net with Linksys dsl router but the one with XP will some times go internet ded and i got to restart and thats really starting to bug me now.

if any one can help or got some websites that has 98/XP networking on it that would really be grate

heres a update also, the XP box can see the two 98's but it cant get in em. it says when i click on both the 98's from XP " \\Jetro is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contant the administartor of this server to find out if you have access permissions. "

Have you created accounts with the exact username as both 98 boxes on the winxp machine? Are you using passwords or are the passwords blank?
