Ben,

Do I take this to mean that I have to log in with a password even if I don't
need to? I was just leaving it blank since that was what I was doing on a
friend's computer. although their did not have any network involvement, just
the fact that they had 98SE installed on their computer.

Scotty,

I have found that any Win 95/98/me computer that needs to access resources
on
computer running Windows NT/2000/XP MUST have Client for Microsoft
Networks
installed and MUST login with a password. The lack of a login password,
i.e.
blank password, or simply hitting the login Cancel button on the 95/98/Me
computer effectively prohibits access to any shared resources on the other
computer. In other words, NT rules dictate that all computers in the net
log in
with passwords in order to access files and printers on an NT-class
operating
system.

I hope this helps... Ben Myers

I have almost the exact opposite problem. So long I had the printer
hooked
up to the 98SE computer, I could print off of either computer via the
network. When I switched it over the weekend to the XP computer, the
98SE
would not print to it although it knew it was out there on the network.
I
can interchanges files and that, but I can't print to the printer from
the
98SE machine now, but the speed that the printer prints from the XP Home
has
dramatic improved.
