networking Vista and 98
I've got a network with 2 W98 SE computers, 1 XP, and one Vista. I have
shared files stored on the Vista computer, but they are not accessible to the W98 computers. Thus far, the W98 computers will display the contents of the shared/Public folder on the Vista computer, but the files cannot be opened. Does anyone know if I could create an account on the Vista computer, and use it on the W98 computers as a login for the shared folders? The problem does not occur in the other direction. The Vista computer has full access to shared files on the W98 computers. -- 95-98-XP-Vista network in progress...

You're experiencing the same frustration as the rest of us Win98 (former)
users. For discussion, just use the find message feature of your newsreader with "98" as the subject in this newsgroup.

networking Vista and 98
Ron,
thanks for your response. I looked at the other posts on this subject, and was not too surprised that so many people appear to agree that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." In the unlikely event that I find a way to make it work, I will post it here. -- 95-98-XP-Vista network  "Ronc" wrote: You're experiencing the same frustration as the rest of us Win98 (former) users.
