Bill,
If this isn't a permissions issue, I'd bet you have a browser conflict. Run
"browstat status" from both the NT Server, and the XP computer. You can't run
browstat on Win98 unfortunately. Compare the results.

Is the NT server running as a domain controller? If so, you need to join the XP
clients properly.
