File Sharing on 98se

Hi... I hav a network of two PC's set up.
The main PC is XP, and the second PC is 98se.
At the moment, I can see the XP and files, from the 98se , but not the
reverse.
The main prob. right now, is the File & Folder Sharing for the 98se, is
turned on for sure, but when I right click a Folder or File, there is no
sharing in the context menu.
What can I do about this....
Also, an article says to make sure the Browser is turned on ( Not IE ) I
can do this in XP, but can find no wsay to do it in 98se,,,
Any help is appreciated...

On 98se, turn file sharing off, reboot, and turn file sharing on.

You're welcome.

Windows XP has a "Computer Browser" service that you can turn on or
off. The equivalent in Windows 98se is to enable or disable "Browse
Master". To make that setting, go to Control Panel | Network and
double click "File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks" in the
list of network components.
