How do I network Windows XP with Windows 9x machines?
A. Unlike Windows 9x/Me, Windows XP is secure, so you have to be logged on as a particular user–with specific rights–before you are granted network access. To make Windows 9x/Me work with Windows XP, then, you will need to ensure that the Windows 9x boxes are logged on with a user name and password that appears on the XP box. Then, you should have no problem sharing resources between the two machines.
