| I was working on a home wireless network today which had two Toshiba
laptops each with wireles cards and the client wanted to implement
file sharing on each computer. I enabled file sharing on each
computer. One computer is a new 17" Toshiba w/XP home and the other
has win98. Both computers have acces to the internet through the
wireless DSL modem. I was able to get the XP machine to see the 98
machine and share files, but I was unable to get the win98 machine to
see the XP machine. Any suggestions? The customer is happy as they can
now swap files but it should work both ways.

| Maybe enabling NetBIOS on both systems will help? Not sure, but that
is what the book for my Linksys NIC card says to do when you encounter
this problem.

Did you create a user and password on the XP machine to match a user on the
win98 computer?

Didn't do that Fred.
What I noticed was on the XP machine there is what appears to be a
shared folder by default. Can someone verify this?

| Windows XP has a shared folder "Shared Documents" by default.
