    ok here's the problem, I have three machines on a small peer to peer (tcp/ip) two of them are win98se and the third is winXP home edition. the problem is that the 98 boxes can see each other and also see and access the win Xp box. The XP box can see the 98 machines but when you try to access them, it says (network path not found)..... I have checked and file sharing is set correctly on all three machines, and alas I am scratching my head as to what could be wrong. if anyone has encountered anything like this please let me know.



    Thank you,


    Steve

    Do you have a firewall?

    P.S. you should be logged in as a user which exists on the machine you are connecting to.

    re: firewall

    No firewall at this time but I will try logging into it as same user on both machines.
