this network resource, contact the administrator of this server to
find out if you have access permissions. Access denied"

Only now I have read this post M8, but a router is the way to go and they are not expensive now.

Hiya matejust seen this myself 99% of teh problesm with filesharing are different workgroups this isnt a problem on your case. The second biggest killer is a username without a password winxp hates thatso does 2k but ole 98 doesnt mind at all.
