98 networking with xp home

i had everything set up correctly but somehow i can't
connect to my desktop which is using the 98 system coming
from my notebook xp system. i keep getting and error
saying "network path not found" i tried out the
troubleshooter from xp and went over and over with it and
still come up with this problem. i need some help and
this is my first time networking.

the host computer is my desktop and my notebook is the
client but i need to know how to file share and print
share. any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all other
firewalls while troubleshooting. Details here:

Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...c_firewall.htm

2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:

Windows XP Network Protocols
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/..._protocols.htm

3. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
Details here:

Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)

I had the same time, set my XP Desktop as the host
connected with wireless router to dsl and connected my
98SE desktop with wireless. However they do not
communicate, The 98 and XP share the dasl connection but
do not recognize each other inthe network. Followed the
advice, all was set....but still no recognition

An added note, the XP shows the 98SE but is denied
permission to access, and the 98 does not recognize the
XP computer, it can access its own shared files but that
is it.

I am having a similar problem although for one day the system did work
completely but without a reason it has now stopped. Network between win
98se (broadband) and WinXP on an ICS setup. No problem with file sharing
and printer sharing - all goes well. Very good comms between host
(Win98se/broadband) and the internet and emails but the only client (Win XP)
will not access either the Internet or OE6. No firewall installed. Where now
I ask myself and of course - all of you?
