What firewall is disabled? Many third party firewalls do not disable properly,
and can cause file sharing problems when disabled.
On the XP Pro server, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel -
Folder Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro
on the LAN with Win98, you need to enable SFS.
If SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (Control Panel -
Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".
If you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make sure that the Guest
account is enabled, and has an identical, non-blank, password on all computers.
If "Classic", setup and use a common account with identical, non-blank, password
on all computers.
For Win98, XP Home, or XP Pro with Simple File Sharing enabled, make sure that
the Guest account is enabled, with identical, non-blank passwords, on each
computer.
Cheers,
Chuck
