I HAVE A NETWORK WITH 7 XP PRO MACHINES AND 3 WIN 98
MACHINES. ALL ARE ACCESSABLE EXCEPT I CANNOT ACCESS ONE
OF THE XP MACHINES FROM ANY OF THE WIN 98 MACHINES. I GET
PROMPTED FOR A NETWORK PASSWORD. ANY HELP WOULD BE
APPRECIATED. THANKS.

RUN THE NETWORK SETUP WIZARD ON THE XP MACHINE THAT'S CAUSING
PROBLEMS. THAT SHOULD FULLY ENABLE FILE SHARING.

If you've disabled simple file sharing on that computer, you need to
create matching user accounts -- same user name and password -- on
that computer and the Win 98 machines.

I think that my second paragraph, using upper and lower case letters,
is easier to read than my first paragraph. What do you think?
