I am using WINXP and Win98 in my system.
In LAN a file shared in XP its not appeared in 98, But its appeared in XP.
What is the problem?
How can I rectify the problem?
 
If the Shared files are on an XP Hard drive formated as NTFS, Win98 cannot read it.

You need to store your shared files on a drive formated as Fat or Fat32.

The best way to do this is to temporarily install a blank drive in your Win98 computer and format it as Fat or Fat32

Remove it from your Win98 computer and install it in the Xp computer. Set it up as your shared drive folders.

You will be able to see the shared files with both computers.

You will be able to save to, write to, Move, Delete files and folders on the shared drive from bothe computers.

Drawback: No security on the Fat/Fat32 drive.
