Have you set up the folders (or drive) so that they are shared and
have full access (read write). They may be set to read only and not
shared.

I have two machines, one W98SE, the other WXP PRO.
They are linked to each other via a D-Link Router.
Independent and simultaneous internet access works fine.
Printing on a USB HP printer connected to XP machine from 98 machine
works fine.

I need to move files back and forth between the two machines.
I have successfully set things up so that:
1) I can view the folders (and files) on the XP machine from the 98
machine, using Network Neighborhood.
2) I can view the folders (and files) on the 98 machine from the XP
machine, using My Network Places>View workgroup Computers.

What I can't do is copy or move folders and/or files either way. I
get an error saying network access is denied and that I need
permissions. For 2 days I have been trying to deal with this problem.
I am tired! Can someone help me?

Thanks
