OK, I have a friend with several Macs running Jaguar and he wants to network them with a Windows 98 box.

I can figure this out on an XP box, but have not worked with 98 in a while.

Anybody know how to do this?

What needs to be done (specifically) on the Windows side to make the Windows box visible to the Mac?

Thanks!

98 does not install networking components automatically, so you'll have to go to "Add and Remove Programs|Windows Components" and add networking if it isn't already running.

Once it's running the networking components, you'll have to share a drive or folder (or a printer on that machine) before the machine is visible.

THAT was the ticket. Thanks GHPorter!

Glad to help. Paying attention to those Windows boxes has paid off!
