How do I do it ???

I`ve enabled file and print sharing on the 98SE box, can`t find it on the XP box.

Am I supposed to be able to see the other computer from whichever box I`m using?.

It`s all very confusing :-\ :'(

One thing that nearly always catches people out with XP Home is that for File Sharing to work the Guest Account has to be enabled.
