Hello Paul
You will have to disable the firewall on the XP machine for it is blocking
access from the 98 machine.
You will have to install File and Print Sharing, Client For MS Networks, Net
Bios TCP/IP in the Network Connection Properties.
 Then you will need to run the Network Wizard on the XP machine for it is
the host computer, then make a floppy when it ask you to and run the floppy
on the 98 machine.

Be sure visit MS Windows Update site and download all the critical updates,
this is for you security and safety.

Hope this helps
