How do you set up a laplink connection so it can be accessed by a winxp pro machine? I have setup a laplink connection but it doesnt seem to work properly.

It connects ok, but when i try and access it in "My Network Places" it says it cannot access it, something to do with not having the right permissions.

I have filesharing enabled on my host (win98) computer and i am sharing the c: drive.

However I can have a working connection if u use windows commander, but i want to be able to connect without using this.

Also I need to be able to add the laplink server to my system startup because i dont have a monitor for the computer. I can add windows commander to the startup but i cannot get it to listen as a server automatically.
