Default Networking Windows 98 + Windows XP

I've tried manually doing this. Putting them in the same workgroup and stuff.

My xp can access the windows 98 c drive and vice versa.

But it's not quite right I don't know how to explain the problem but I'll tell you the things I did and you tell me the things I left out.

#1: File sharing enabled on both.

#2: Connected both with ethernet cables to the D-link router and from the router to the modem.


I've googled and googled and googled but I can't find any easy guides to this.

It's not quite like a proper network.

I can't manipulate the windows 98 from the windows xp.

Like using the shutdown command in MS-DOs. Just things like that.

When using the popular program Cain and Abel I can't view any of the windows 98 services etc..

Basically something is wrong and I don't know what I did or didn't do.

I'm sorry there isn't a lot of info here.

windows 98 doesn't have shutdown.exe like xp does. There is some command to shutdown 98 from a command line but i dunno off hand.

98 does not run windows services. windows services only run on nt based systems (nt, 2k, xp, vista)
