    I have a Netgear wired router which is connected to a Belkin wireless router (setup as an access point). One of the desktops (Win 98se) wired to the Netgear router has shared folders on it. I can access the internet through the wireless router using my Compaq v2000 (Win XP Home) and see the name of the Win 98se desktop in the network folder, but I can't access it. Help please! :(
