I cant log on to the network from my 98. It gives me
a "not logged on" error message. Although, I can access
all files and folders from my xp to the 98. What should I
do?

Is there a logon prompt when Windows 98 starts? If so, don't cancel
it. Complete the logon by entering a user name and, optionally, a
password. If there's no logon prompt, click Start | Log Off and log
back on. If that makes network browsing work properly, the most
likely fix is to go to this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Network\Real Mode Net

and delete the value named "AutoLogon", as shown here:

Please give us more information about the problem. The more we know
about it, the more likely it is that someone can help.

Did you do the registry edit that I suggested?

Does the 98 machine still give the "not logged" on error message?

How are you trying to get the computers to communicate with each
other? What exactly happens when you do it?

What is the complete text of all error messages?

How have you configure the network hardware and protocols?

Etc.
