Network path not found error - P-to-P

I have a Peer-to-Peer network setup between my Win2000 and Win98SE systems. The Win98 system can see the shared folder on the Win2000, but whenever I select the Win98 icon in Computers Near Me, I get this error:

"\\Default is not accessible. The network path was not found"

Running net view from the Command Prompt displays the two computer's names, but not their shared folder. I've tried removing the share and then reapplying it to no avail.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks..

Just a place to start make sure that the Win98 machine has file & printer sharing enabled

Had a simular problem. Make sure NETBUI is on all your PC's to do name resolution on the peer-to-peer or LAN side.
