Big thanks, it works!

I mean, it was the reason my computers weren't seeing each other for, even when network setting were right. Yes, there is an "allow this IPs" list, but I just wasn't...

I want to share files (both ways) and a printer on the Win98 computer. I do...
I have two PCs, running WinXp to Win98, respectively. Both have the same type of Ethernet Adaptors and the correct cable between.
