    cannot access win98 computer from winxp computer

    can anybody plss help me with this problem?

    The Windows 98 computer sees the Windows XP computer (it will print
    through it, read shared files, etc.), but the Windows XP computer does not see the Windows 98 computer. Both are set to the same domain name.

    I believe the windows 98 machine has to have file sharing enabled ( and printer too if needed) AND has to have something shared
    If nothing is shared- XP won't see it
    All who wander are not lost

    What were we talkin bout ?
