simple LAN setup

What is the safest way to setup my 98SE machince to see a folder on my
desktop that is on my XP64 machine? both machines are connected to a
router.

I didn't seem to have a problemn setting up my old 98 machine like this
but XP machine seems to be a bit more difficult.

I have been through the network setup quite a bit but can't seem to make
it work .

wow ... must not be simple... nobody knows lol

Mostly, this is a problem for a Windows XP Networking newsgroup. If you
can't manage to work out the XP Connection Wizards, you'll need someone to
walk you through it who knows the dialogues inside out. That person will
almost certainly also be able to give you specific hints as to how to set up
the 98 machine to play nice with the XP system.

Not in this newsgroup, no. But you *will* see lots like this in the XP
groups and even in the main Win98 NG:

As I said, though, your primary issue is setting up XP networking, and this
is not the place for that.

Yes, but according to your original post, you have yet to decently set up
Windows XP networking. Is that not true?

Again, a Windows XP Networking NG is the place for this question. They not
only know how to properly set up the XP Networking, they also have plenty of
experience configuring Win9x machines to share a workgroup with XP.

We occasionally see a similar question in the Win98 groups, but in those
cases, XP networking has usually already been set up properly. Believe me,
the fact that it's an XP box that you're trying to connect to makes all the
difference in the world. Hard enough just to get two XP machines to play
well together over a shared router/internet gateway network sometimes.
