Networking w98 and file sharing

Trying to networking w98 with xp.
The Xp computer will file share and see the w98 computer.
But the W98 will not see the win 98 and XP computers and
it will not let me share or use my users to share with. I
can ping from the w98 to see the w98 and XP computers. I
can ping from the xp to the w98 only during bootup. I can
get on the internet..

I have removed my firewalls.

Please help

Thanks in Advance

Windows XP required authentication before it will grant
access to resources (files, printer, etc.)

Do one of the below:
1. Create a normal user account on the XP box with an
assigned password. Give that User access to the shared
area and files on the XP box. Then login on the 98 box
with the same ID and password. OR....

2. Figure out what the current Windows 98 login and
password are, and create the same account and password on
the XP box. Give the user access to the files and share
area.

By using the exact same account ID and password on each,
from 98 you will attach to the share without prompting.
