Michael,
a little more info would be helpful, but let me ask a few things:
1)Have you enabled and print sharing on the 98 box in question? 2)Are the
subnet masks the same on all machines in the workgroup? 3)Is the workgroup
name the same on all boxen? 4)Can you ping and/or tracert to the troublesome
9X from other boxen on lan?
Assuming these are in order, I would suggest the following:
1)Check layer one. 2)Remove file and print sharing and re-add with a reboot
in between. 3)Remove Microsoft Windows Networking, reboot, and re-add the
provider and protocols and reconfigure network settings. 4)Delete and
recreate the shares that you are trying to access. 5)Check layer one again.
In my experience, despite the "iffy" nature of networking in Win9X, the
problems are often physical in nature.
6)Scrap 9X and use a real network OS... (not helpful, I know, but
definatively earnest)
Good luck!

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT/ cannot share resources
Ok you network people, I cannot share my files on just one of my computers,
it is just a small peer to peer workgroup. I can see the computer in the
network neighborhood. The computer I am having problems with has win 98. So
what is causing the problem, and how do I fix it.
