You can piggyback on my thread "Adding XP Pro to a Peer to Peer
Network" in this newsgroup.  The best I have been able to do is see
the non-NT machines using \\machineName\mySharedFolder in the Run
command.  I cannot get them to appear in the Network places.

I have not removed all protocols but TCP/IP in that I still need
either Netbui or IPX for a print server, but I thought in my thrashing
I had tried that.  

Suffice it to say, M$ has done it again, ignoring the principle of
backward comptibility to fatten its illegally gotten coffers.
