File Sharing between Win98 and Windowsxp

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have a new Windowsxp computer and want to be able to access files on my
old Win98 computer and also to share a printer. I have a D-link hub which
is used to connect both computers to the internet thru a cable modem. Both
computers can access the internet at the same time with no problems, but I
can't get them to recognise each other.

I used the Network Setup Wizard on the Winxp computer to set up the network
and used the disk it created in the Win98 computer to set up the network on
it. Each computer sees itself in the network neighbourhood area on its own
Computer but cannote see the other computer. I have used this method
before between the Win98/Win95 computers and it worked, so I know that the
D-link hub and cable modem connection works.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Abay
