Right. I have been in a similar situation. I have had trouble getting 98 to access XP and for that I needed to create an ID on the XP machine matching the login details of the 98 machine.

Unfortunatly my file server has gone off on other vital duties and my large file space is on XP which is annoying me. With your setup can your 98 machine access your Linux machine's SMB area for file storage :) With the problem you've mentioned, can your XP machine see your 98 machine? Can your Linux machine see your XP machine? Are you using static IP or DHCP, what network parts have you got installed on your 98 machine. Cheers Elwyn
