I have set up home networking on both my XP professional and windows 98
machines. I can see the drive on the XP machine from the 98 machine, but not
entirely vice versa...all i can see from the XP of the 98 is a shared
documents folder. when i try to log onto the main drive, i get a password
window that pops up but no password i've offered it seems to satisfy it. i
would like to see the other drives on the 98 machine, especially the floppy
and tape. please advise

goodbye
