Can't share out drives or printers

When I try to share a drive or a printer on a Windows 98
machine it says: You have created a share resource, but
you have not given anyone permission to use it. Do you
want to add permissions now? I say yes, then it gives
error: You cannot view the list of users at this time.
Please try again later. Anyone have a clue?
Thanks, Murf

Is this computer on a domain? What is your error?

Don't try to use user-level sharing on a peer-to-peer network. Instead use
share-level sharing. You'll find this setting in the Network Properties
screen on the Access Control tab.

It is not on a domain. Using the workgroups.. The error
is: Ypu cannot view the list of users at this time. Please
try again later... I found a fix for this error for win2K
but this is a 98 machine.

I tried this and I can't see or access the other PC's on
the LAN

network. Instead use

Network Properties

replied to.

That setting has nothing to do with whether or not you can see other
computers on the network. You can only use the user-level access feature if
you are part of an NT or 2000 domain - and I will just about bet that you
are not part of such a domain.
