Win2K/XP connectivity problem

Help, anyone?

Machine 1 is dual boot Win98SE & Win2K
Machine 2 is XP Home.

Under Win98, no problem, I can ping, access shares, etc.
on the XP machine.
When I boot into Win2K on the dual-boot, not only can I
not access the shares, I can't even ping the XP machine.
"Request timed out" messages, over & over again.
All configurations require log-on name & password, which
is identical in all scenarios.

I'm using a Linksys router/switch. Could this be the
issue? If so, any ideas on how to fix it?
I can ping the Gateway OK, also.

Again, under Win98, all is OK, so it's not a hardware
issue. Also, internet access is excellent thru the NIC
under Win2K, so Win2K NIC driver should not be the problem.

I'm stumped.
HELP!

TIA,
Dan
