Have you created the XP networking floppy, and run that floppy on both of the 98 boxes?

no i have not, how do i go about doing that? im new to xp

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. "

ill try that XP networking floppy thing and see what happens.

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?
