Hello. I have a small home network made of three computers. One computer, the strongest one, has printer attached to it and it is running Windows XP Professional. Other two computers are old and they are running Windows 98SE. The problem is that file and print sharing is not working on my network. Do you have any suggestions for me?

This is a very common problem when you have Windows XP Professional networked with previous versions of Windows operating systems. To enable file and print sharing you will have to enable guest account on Windows XP Professional. This account should have the same username and passwords you are using to log on other computers. If you are using different usernames and passwords on both other computers then you should create two guest accounts on Windows XP.
