Unable to browse Windows XP machine on the network from Windows 98

Hi,
I have Windows 98 machine connected to a domain. Recently,
a new pc was purchased and is installed with Windows XP
Professional. As I shared a folder out from the windows XP
pc, none of the Windows 98 machines are able to browse the
share nor the machine on the network, but the Windows XP
machine is able to browse the Windows 98 machine on the
network. The netbios is enabled for both the Windows 98
and Windows XP machine. Can anyone help?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure that XP's Internet Connection Firewall is disabled on the
local area network connection. Details here:

Windows 98 can't see an XP share if the share name is longer than 12
characters.
