I have 1 98SE pc and 1 XP pro pc and they are networked
together. The XP pc can access files on the 98SE pc but
not the other way round. When i click on the pc name in
network neighbourhood, i get the error message:
"\\(PC NAME) is not accessible. This device does not
exist on the network"
The 98SE pc can ping the XP pc but not access its shared
files and folders.

I would be grateful for any suggestions,
Thanks,
Andrew

How to setup home or peer-to-peer network

If all of the computers in a peer-to-peer workgroup don't have a common
networking protocol, a common workgroup, and common user names and
passwords, the computers may experience a difficulty to communicate with
other computers that are running Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 95, or
Microsoft Windows 98. To resolve this issue, configure the computers by
ensuring that they have a common networking protocol (TCP/IP), a common
workgroup, and common user names and passwords. Also make sure enable File
and Printer Sharing is installed.
