I have set up a network with a Win98 and an XP plugged to a router. Both machines can browse the internet but only the XP can share the files from the 98 but not vice versa. Firewalls on both are disable. I can ping all connections, i.e. the router, the XP and its own IP from the 98. However, nothing shows up on the Network Neighborhood except the Entire Network icon. Clicking on the icon gives an error message of Unable to browse network...

I have loaded files from the XP software via the network setup wizard to the 98. Wonder if anyone can help me to solve this problem

Thank

You've posted this to the wrong newsgroup. This is for application
development on Windows CE devices using .NET. Not very close.
