Network between 98 & 2000
I have an ethernet card and cable connecting two machines, one 98, the other 2000. I am able to ping each machine.
I want to be able to add a new drive(i.e. E:/) to both machines which has access to each respective machine.
How do i do this?

This solution is only available to members.

To create a domain you need a PDC. I don't think its neccessary to have a domain for two machines. For peer to peer networking the default workgroup is "workgroup" and permissions can be assigned to the share.
Why over-complicate things?

White buffalo is right, why make complicated.
On Win2k, share the Drive and make sur to give the user access rights to the drive. By default i think it is full control for everybody, so u just need to make the user has a account on the machine.
On win98, just share the drive and voila.
To connect:
go to network neighberhood, click on the computer u whant to access the drive on. You should see the drive you shared as a folder. Right click, chose map network drive and give letter e:
don't forget to check, reconnect at logon.
hope this helps.

Well When I answer a question I give all poossibility
1) The Domlain to do Interesting things but the most complicated
2) The Workgroup more simple but already complicate
3) The Guest
Because by default everybody have full access to files (but everybody who have an account) so you need to create an account
Local Acount for solution 2
Global Account for solution 1
For let the guest user access for solution 3 (that let security problem) but
is is the most simple (The Guest is the Annonymous account that all unkow computer take to access win2k files)
PS: One more when you answer to question please be as general as possible because when someone else will need an answer he will get it.
Because my answer could be "mffff try guest account" thats right but explain nothing !

Now Your W98 have right to access W2K disk. so you can access disk.
If you choose the guest option you can access as unknow user if you choose the domain/workgroup option, then you have to set the Microsoft Network to enter login password at logon.
Then If your are in Domain then you can administer user and let user to access to your disk at different time, with different rights...
