1. Make sure all computers are in the same workgroup and have unique names on the network
2. Make sure all firewalls are disabled while setting up the network. In particular make sure that WinXP's built-in firewall is disabled on the local area connection.
3. Make sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
4. Make sure File and Printer Sharing is bound to only one protocol, preferably TCP/IP.
5. Make sure drives and/or folders have been designated as shared.
6. If the Windows 98/ME computers have Client for Microsoft Networks as the primary network logon, make sure that the proper username and password are entered when these machines boot. If Windows logon is the primary network logon, make sure that either a null password is used or that the correct password is used when booting these computers. Hitting the cancel button at the password prompt may prevent network connectivity.
