A gentleman who I have done networking work for in the past is having
some problems.
His setup:
a windows 95 machine, a windows 98 se machine, and a new XP pro
machine, all networked via a hub.
Network is fine, rockin and rollin. But for the past few months he has
had an issue with the 9x users not being able to retrieve files from
his XP machine, nor able to paste files into his shared folders on his
XP. I setup all the shared folders and stuff and it seemed to work
fine before I left.

However, he is able to retrieve files from the 9x machines and paste
files into their shared folders just fine. Any ideas to get me
started?
Thanks in advance!
