I have exactly the same setup except i am networking W2K
with W95 (using W95 as a Print server to take the load off
my W2k machine)
The problem may lie with W98 not having permission to
access W2k. So for e.g on my W95 machine (I'm sure this
should apply to W98), my username and password to log on
from boot up are as follows:
Username: GEORGE
Password: 123456
Go into W2k add a New User (Computer Management/Local
Users and Groups/Users etc) with the name 'GEORGE' and
give it the same password '123456'.
And remember W98 will not recognise NTFS under W2k, so you
can't map any drives from W98 if all your W2k drives are
NTFS.
If you have FAT32 drives in W2k, right click drive and
set 'Sharing' attributes to let W98 map a drive to W2K.
Hope that helps
George
