networking

I have a network set-up on my computer which has XP -
this is the host. I am trying to share files on the
client computer which is Windows 98 (so I can have access
to the files on the host computer). Both computers are
set-up to the router and the network is working because I
can access the internet on both computers. In the
network dialog box I have clicked "File and Print
Sharing" and restarted the computer. When I right click
on the files I want to share there is no "sharing"
option, nor is there one for the printer. Is my Windows
98 not set-up for File and print sharing???

Which of Microsoft Broadband Networking hardware are you using, Tia? It
sounds as if you're using Internet Connection Sharing, which would be a
subject for the Windows XP networking newsgroup, and not this one.
