Hi Allen, thanks

   I'm running Service pack 2.

Here's my latest compilation of info and symptoms:
 
A Recap: Small home network. A d-link router with a
XP pro box and a 98SE box on hardwires, and a W2K machine
via wireless. A Lexmark 6150 shared from the XP box. An
HP 550c shared from the 98SE box.

1) PROBLEM / I can't share the Lexmark printer attached
to the XP box with the 98SE box

2) I can connect to the Internet from all 3 boxes.

3) I can see and share files between all three boxes.

4) I can share the HP printer on the 98SE box with both
the XP box, and the W2K box.

5) I can share the Lexmark from the XP box to the W2K box
[but NOT the 98SE box]

6) I can see the Lexmark share in all the network related
windows on the 98SE box.

7) I can run the add printer wizard from the share. I
have the correct drivers for the 9x environment from
www.lexmark.com. When it comes time to search and locate
the printer from inside the Lexmark 9x setup utility,
setup just refuses to find it no matter how many ways I
try to ram the drivers down the darn thing's throat.

8) I ran a network setup disk, created on the
XP box, on the 98SE box. I received an error stating
unable to find a "missing resource", but didn't say which
one. Could that be important? [Remember, I can see, share
and changes files between all 3 boxes]

9) I cannot add the 9x drivers to "additional drivers"
wizard on the XP box without receiving errors which stop
the process. "no driver for the selected environment"
or "blaa blaa blaa, unable to complete operation?"

10) The share name is "LexmarkX" no dashes or spaces.

 I am still baffled. I'm starting to think adapter
protocol or service bindings? I think I have them
configured correctly, but I'm certainly not 100% sure.

   It's really becoming a "man vs. machine" thing !!

    Again, thanks for for your reply
