XP - 98 file sharing problem

Hi,
I have a XP Home running as ICS server, 98SE as ICS
client. Internet works fine. XP can see 98's file shares.

The 98 machine sees the XP machine. But when I try to
obtain the share list, it says:
"No authorization to access this resource".
On 98: NETBEUI TCP/IP MS network client, File sharing
service installed. A common user is created on XP and 98
with a password.

I tried on the 98 machine the "netsetup.exe" created from
the XP ICS config waizard. It was a full desaster, I could
not even do a ping (10043).
I also tried several suggestions from the internet post,
but none solves my problem.

What should I try now?

Thanks!

Georges

Using more than one network protocol for file sharing is likely to
cause problems, especially when XP is involved. Remove NetBEUI.

Run the Network Setup Wizard on XP to fully enable file sharing. It
isn't necessary to run the Wizard on 98.

If that doesn't solve the problem, try these tips:

1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all other
firewalls while troubleshooting. Details here:

Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall

2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:

Windows XP Network Protocols
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/..._protocols.htm

3. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
Details here:

Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...hoot/netbt.htm

4. Run "ipconfig /all" on XP and look at the "Node Type" at the
beginning of the output. If it says "Peer-to-Peer" (which should
actually be "Point-to-Point") that's the problem. It means that the
computer only uses a WINS server, which isn't available on a
peer-to-peer network for NetBIOS name resolution.

If that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key:

HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parame ters

and delete these values if they're present:

NodeType
DhcpNodeType

Reboot, then try network access again.

If that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD
value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for
"Mixed".
