I have three computers in my house, my computer's running XP Home (didn't know that you could get Pro OEM edition for about the same price when I purchased), my mom's laptop is also running XP Home, and the family computer is running 98SE. Back when I was running 98SE on my old system, filesharing was always pretty flaky between the family comp and mine, and when I installed XP it just plain stopped working. A few weeks ago I tried to do some filesharing after I installed the networking update (off the XP CD) that is suppost to allow 98 to fileshare with XP, but it didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? I haven't tested filesharing between the XP laptop and my machine but I'm going to be doing it ASAP.

Grr! The laptop can't see my system, but I can see it. And I can't access it!

Yes! I got the filesharing (& printer sharing) to somehow work! Now to see if I can get the 98 machine to play nice.

EDIT: I've got them all working now! I just need to keep ZoneAlarm closed.
