The WinXP can see the old W98 PC but not the other way around.
It used to be able to... but even after installing NETBEUI there is no
improvement.
MS KB does not come up with anything useful

BTW - Sharing is set up on the XP and I have NOT converted to NTFS.
I had this config before - no probs THEN!

Thanks in advance
 
Did you run the XP Network Setup Wizard on both computers? If yew, did you
make certain go disable or turnoff any firewalls and other security software
on both machines? During the setup wizard users are asked how this machine
connects to the Internet, an incorrect answer can cause the issue you
describe. In most cases, the correct response is "gateway" as opposed to
hub.
