Thanks Jason. Lots of info.
Essentially I alsmost had what I wanted but one Win98 PC
wouldn't do what it was told. And I've found Simple File
Sharing in this environment won't allow me to have some
folders on the network to be shared and another to allow
limited access to 3 out of 4 users. Will switching from a
workgroup to a domain allow me to do what I want in this
environment? What must I do to provide variable folder
access to profiles on the W98SE machines?
Appreciate your help.
Cheers
Mark
