I have also been struggling with this problem for several weeks and no
matter what I did I still was asked for a password from the W98 machine even
though the XP machines were fine and they saw the 98 machine (I am
networking 2 XPProfessional and 1 W98 machines). However, I have at last
resolved it - I had two accounts on each of my XP machines, and obviously
their account names were different, BUT their passwords were the same (yes
my wife and I used the same passwords for each of out accounts). I tried to
think of why XP was unsure of MY account name and password that I had
replicated on the W98 machine and decided that maybe it didn't like the fact
that the password was the same for two accounts on the XP machines. I was
right - on changing MY password on both the XP machines and the 98 machine
suddenly all was well and I am seeing files between all machines!
I hope this may help your problem - regards, Rob
