[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >ty 4 ur time Run the Network Setup Wizard on the XP machine -- that's usually all that's needed to remove the IPC$ prompt. Don't run the Wizard on Win 98, even if it tells you to. If that doesn't solve the problem, type this line at the XP command prompt to make sure that the Guest account is enabled for network access: net user guest /active:yes If that doesn't do it, remove any network password from the Guest account: 1. Click Start | Run. 2. Type "control userpasswords2" in the box and click OK: 3. Click Guest. 4. Click Reset Password. 5. Click OK without entering a new password.

If so, it's possible that you've disabled simple file sharing, which causes access to shared disks and folders to work differently. In that case, create a user account on XP Professional that has the same user name and password that you use to log onto Win 98. That will give access without the IPC$ prompt, provided that the "Everyone" group has permission.
