This might be the wrong the wrong rorum to ask this but better than nothing.

I have a network here with 2 98 machines and one XP machine, all networked throuch a SMC router. I can access the shared folders on the XP machine from both win98 computers. I can't access anything from the XP machine though. I can see them and ping em good enough, the problem comes when I try to view the shared folders/printers I get the message

"\\user is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The account is not authorized to log in from this station."

Am I missing a security or service or something simple and mundane running? Any ideas or suggestions would be very helpful, Thanks in advance!
