Can't share out drives or printers

When I try to share a drive or a printer on a Windows 98
machine it says: You have created a share resource, but
you have not given anyone permission to use it. Do you
want to add permissions now? I say yes, then it gives
error: You cannot view the list of users at this time.
Please try again later. Anyone have a clue?
Thanks, Murf

Is this computer on a domain? What is your error?

Don't try to use user-level sharing on a peer-to-peer network. Instead use
share-level sharing. You'll find this setting in the Network Properties
screen on the Access Control tab.

It is not on a domain. Using the workgroups.. The error
is: Ypu cannot view the list of users at this time. Please
try again later... I found a fix for this error for win2K
but this is a 98 machine.

That setting has nothing to do with whether or not you can see other
computers on the network. You can only use the user-level access feature if
you are part of an NT or 2000 domain - and I will just about bet that you
are not part of such a domain.
