Networking Windows 98 with XP

I am having trouble networking my 98 and XP computers. They are set up through a router. The XP can see the network and both computers but cannot access anything on the 98 machine. The 98 cannot see or access the network at all. I followed the wizard on the XP machine, and used the Windows 98 manual that came with the 98 computer to set up the network. As far as I can tell everything is setup correctly on the 98 machine, however it is not connecting to the network.

Any help would be appreciated.

Run XP's Wizard on both computers, and tell it that the computers
connect to the Internet through a "residential gateway", which is what
it calls a router. Other options can prevent the network from
working. This web page shows how to run it on 98:
