Windows XP/98 networking

Setup: DSL Modem with Wireless, 4-port Router.  Both desktops are connected to router via a network cable.  I can browse my Windows 98 machine from my XP machine but not vice versa. When I open up Network Neighborhood I cannot browse the Entire Network.  I get the message that's "The network is not accessible".  I do have some folders on XP machine set up to be Shared.  Any idea?  Thanks!

Have you got a windows XP disc?  Microsoft never make forward compatible software - it's where they make their money.  If you install XP on the 98 computer, problems should stop
