BT Home Network 1200 help please

Hello All

I have recently installed the above, and for sharing ADSL access between 2
pc's (1 running XP, the other Windows 98) it works very well. I am having
problems sharing files between the 2 though, as I keep getting the message:

"172.16.1.35 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator etc. The network path was not
found."

Clearly, if the other pc is able to use the broadband connection, there is a
path between the 2, and I have been through the file sharing wizard process
to no avail, and also the Files and Settings transfer wizard has not helped.
Am I doing something stupid or what?

Please help- I don't have much hair left anyway, and this is speeding up the
process..................................

Thanks in advance for your help.

I suspect you are geting this message when trying to connect from the 98
machine to the XP one. If so, add a user to the XP machine with the same
username and password that you use to log on to the XP one.

Sorry, that should read:
