Ok, sounds like it is an authentication issue. When you
map a drive, do you have to provide a machine-
name\username and password to access the xp drive? If so,
that is my bet.

When browsing via n-hood, "I am pretty sure" you are
accessing the folder with your Win98 credentials, not the
XP pro credentials. If you map the drive you are providing
the xp credentials to the xp machine.

I had overcome this with a PDC in the netowrk, thus when I
log onto a workstation, I am logging into it with domain
credentials and not workstation, local credentials...I
hope this helps.
