Bear with me a moment while I rant. So far XP sucks! Okay now the specifics.
Have followed all steps for home network and second computer cannot print to
network printer (using Win98)

Secondly, I am the damn administrator so why am I told I don't have admin
priveleges when I try to view other workgroup computers, etc.

Also have one website where pictures will not load(little red x's) Have
tried all the common fixes and nothing. Is there someone out there that
would be kind enough to hook up online and talk me thru some of these
issues. asking a lot I know but frustration level is getting dangerously
high.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Dave, sounds as though you are a little upset.
Just a few questions.

How are you networked?
Have you installed the correct protocols?
Have you run the Network Wizard on the XP machine then the 98 machine?
Are you using Auto IP? Do you have Auto DNS ticked on the XP puter and on
the 98 puter tick the DNS and enter the puter name in the Host Box.
Do you have the Firewalls on or off?

Printer
Are you using one of the puters as a host or a printer switch?
