Folder shares between users

This is a discussion about Folder shares between users in the Windows Networking category; I have a server running NT4 with 4 users running Win98. I need to share Joe's private$ directory on the server with Bob. I tried adding a permission to Joe's directory with access available to Bob but I cannot see the share from Bob's PC.

I have a server running NT4 with 4 users running Win98.
 
I need to share "Joe's" private$ directory on the server with "Bob".
 
I tried adding a permission to Joe's directory with access available to Bob but I cannot see the share from Bob's PC.
 
I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.
 
Thanks for any Help!

What do you mean when you say you can't "see" it? You can't get to \\server\joe$ from Bob's PC? You aren't going to see hidden shares ($ suffix) from other systems anyway, but you can still connect to them. Also, make sure that the share permissions AND any NTFS permissions allow for Bob to get into Joe's share.
