98 XP network problem

I have 1 PC with XP and another with 98SE connected directly together. They
can both see each other but the XP can not see the other files. I've enabled
file sharing and there is no firewall on the 98PC. When I click on the 98
iconon the XP network places I get a message "\\PC is not accessible. You
might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the
administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The
network path was not found." Help please.

Did you share what you want to see from XP on the win98 machine ??

I have allows shared access to my c drive on the 98 computer. Incidentally I
can't change the netwrok name of the hard drive on the XP computer. Perhaps
I have not got some admin abilities?
