Hi.
Can I see my shared folder from a W98 to a XP (where I
have my shared Folders) in a workgroup. My w98 is FAT32.
Thanks
 
When sharing drives/ files over a network connection, the pc's don't read
each other's file system format. They simply present a list of files for the
other to see and use, hence the pc or operating system's file system format
makes no difference.

Then, why i can no see my shared folders in XP from the
W98 clients???. Except this, everything works fine.

You'll want to create an account (in User Accounts) on the WinXP machine
with the username and password that you use to logon to the win9x machine
with. Then you'll need to share out the resource(s) with permissions for
those users. Also make sure they're all part of the same workgroup. Then
you'll no longer be prompted for the IPC$ password (Inter-process
communication)

In a peer level workgroup, when you try to access resources on a Windows
NT/2000/XP/2003 machine, Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 needs to authenticate the
user. If the user account doesn't exist in it's local account database, then
access will be denied.
