I am adding a computer running Win 98 to a network that has 2 computers running XP Pro and 2 running Win 98. The 2 running Win 98 can access this new computer fine with no problems. All files are shared and they can be accessed. The 2 computers running XP Pro can only see this new computer in the workgroup but when I try to access it, it tells me that I do not have access permission. I know this isn’t right because I can access it from the other computers. Is there a setting that I’m not seeing in Win XP Pro that causes this. And yes all component settings are the same on all the computers.
 
Jimmy, I had a similar problem --- just got XP running on my home network. The problem was I had a firewall program running on my old Win2000 machine that was preventing my winXP pro from accessing it.
