XP workstation cannot open shares on WIN98 workstation

Hi,
My XP workstation cannot open shares on WIN98 workstation.
I am using protocol TCPIP. Both workstations can PING
each other by name or IP address. Both can access the web.

THe Win98 workstation can see the XP box in Network
neightborhood, but cannot pass validation (I expected
that).

THe XP box cannot see WIN98 box in Network Neighborhood.

Any Clues on how to access WIN98 shares from XP
workstation?

1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all other
firewalls while troubleshooting. Details here:

Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall

2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:

3. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
Details here:
