I has set my XP home disk for share from the root. My
other computers can see the XP Home computer, but attempts
to mount the XP Home computer from a Win 98 ( with a
double click on the computer name ) results in the
message "\\XPComputer is not accessible. The computer
sharename could not be fount. Make sure you typed it
correctly, and try again". I am able to mount the win 98
disk from the Win XP system.

Mark,

Windows XP Home has some limitations regarding which folders you
can share. There are a few that you can't share, but you can
share subfolders in them. Try that for a test.

For other networking problems please have a look at
