getting 98SE to see XP Home computer on wireless network

I've been able to see 98SE computer from XP but not the
other way around. I've read other posts and have verified
all of the basic steps and still no luck.

Is there something that I'm missing that would explain why
I can only see in one direction?

Thank you

1. Turn off the XP firewall if it is on.

2. Turn off any firewall software on the Windows 98 PC.

3. Try here:

Make sure all your networked PC's do not have any TCP/IP settings
configured.
They should be getting everything IP, DNS, WINS resolution, gateway, etc.
through DHCP.

You should NOT install NetBEUI on any of your PC's. Carey Holtzman's page
is good, although he suggests enabling more protocols than you really need.
The only protocol you need is TCP/IP on all PC's. All you need for file and
printer sharing is to make sure on EVERY PC that they have the checkbox for
"Enable Netbios over TCP/IP" checked. My Win98SE grays it out, but shows a
check behind the gray.

Lastly, make sure your share names are short and do not contain spaces. (I
think there's a 8 or 10 character limit).
