W2K-Win98 Networking

I have a win98 system hooked up to win2k system and want
to share files and folders. I am logged on as the
administrator on both machines(no password).

When I go into My Network Places on the win2k machine I
have no problem seeing my win98 shares, but when I go into
Network Neighborhood on my win98 system to view my win2k
shares, none of them appear(share permission-Everyone).

I am able to ping either machine from the other.
Connectivity does not appear to be the issue.

Do I need to install an additional networking component?

Ctreate an identical account on both computers. Same username and password.
Log into the win98 computer using this account.

Thank you BobC. But why would it be necessary for me to
create an identical account on both machines and log onto
the win98 with that account. My experience has been that
two machines hooked up as a workgroup doesn't require
this? Could you possibly elaborate on why the systems
should need matching accounts for shares to work both
ways?

Because unlike win98, win2k is a networking operating system and therefore
needs to know the credentials of anyone wanting to connect to it. In a
domain environment the credentials are provided by a server. In a workgroup
environment like you have there is no server managing user accounts. So the
only place the win2k can determine the credentials is from the computer
making the connection to it. These credentials must be present on the win2k
computer.

Alternatively you could enable a guest account. This is not recommended
because guest accounts are not secure.

Of course. I wasn't looking at the problem from the
standpoint of security. If, however, I was logged on to
both machines as administrator (no password), wouldn't
that satisfy this requirment?

No password does not satify the requirement for a paswword.

Shouldn't two machines that are both logged onto with the
administrator account be able to access an Everyone share
on another system?

Hi:

I have a Win2000Server-SP2 and almost 30 clients connected using XP, Me, 98 and 95.

I'm facing a problem with Win98 and Win 95 clients. These clients can´t see all folders have been shared by our server.

For example, actually server is sharing a folder called USERS and inside of it, there is 30 folders, and these computers cant see some of them.

Any idea?
