53186	2002-06-08 08:35:00	Hi, I have networked my main WinXP computer with a Win98 machine. They can both see each other and I can explore the 98 pc with the XP one. The problem I have is when I try to explore the XP pc from the 98 machine I get the message 'no permission to access resourse'. Any suggestions would be very appreciated as I am about to go and get a gun and show these gremlins who's boss.	Guest (0)

Here is the URL to an earlier thread on the topic that might help. www.idg.net.nz HTH Callum	Guest (0)
