on the win98, enable file & print sharing in network neighborhood properties than enable sharingto the drives by right clicking the hd & than sharing. in xp, go thru the setting up a small office/home network program.

thanks for the info i have done all that you have said and im getting sumwhere.
When i go to my network places on the desktop (winxp) i can only see the desktop machines hardrive and not the laptop.
However if i click view workgoup computers i can see the laptop is there but if i attempt to open it up i get a message saying i might not have acces and the path for the laptop is not found.
When using the laptop (win98) it cannot see that the desktop is conected to the network.

i had the same problem and it turned out it was my firewall. the security was on high so i just changed it to medium and put all the IP's from the network into the trusted zone on all the computers.
