Win98 and XP in peer to peer

Lots of stuff here about getting Win98 and XP to talk...
all my clients in a mixed 98 - XP LAN see each other ...
.... it's come down to this XP can open files on a shared
Win98 folder ... my 98 clients can see XP clients, can see
shared folders and files on XP clients but when opening a
file on an XP client shared folder get "Access Denied"
messages (in all applications) ... haven't taken a hard
look at this yet ... but would appreciate hints as to how
to resolve this.

Thanks

Another poster kindly provided this link in reply to an
apparently related issue:

I think this will serve to resolve my issue - also MS
Knowledge Base Article # 304040 - provides a good, in
depth overview of: "How to configure file sharing in
Windows XP"

Thanks
