Default XP SP2 and 98SE Network

I just recently purchased a new computer with Windows XP
SP2 and connected it to my Microsoft MN-100 wired router
using a cable modem to connect to the internet. I then
connected my old computer, which uses Windows 98 SE, to
the router as well. I can connect to the internet on both
machines, check e-mail using Outlook Express and each can
function fine. I shared the entire C:\ on the 98SE
computer in an effort to copy some files to the new XP
computer. In My Network Places on the XP, I can see the
C:\ of the 98SE, and I transferred the files over to the
XP.
However, when I share a directory on the XP computer, I
cannot "see" it on the 98SE computer. When I attempt to
Find Computer or Files on the 98SE, the computer takes a
very long time and then returns with No Files Found.
Also, the 98SE does not "see" the new Epson Photo Printer
that I just installed on the new XP computer. The 98SE
will be located in my son's room, and I suppose he could
just save his work and then go to the XP computer to copy,
and or print it, but I would like to try and fix it.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to resolve these two
issues?

use the logon name and password of the win98 machine to create a user of the
same name on the XP machine...you should then have permission...

Since the 98SE computer can't see the XP machine at all, I don't think
that this is a permission problem. A permission problem would prompt
for the IPC$ password or give an "access denied" message.

Make sure that a firewall on the XP machine isn't blocking access from
98SE. If you've installed a firewall program (Norton, McAfee,
ZoneAlarm, Trend Micro, McAfee, etc), configure it to allow access on
the local area network, and disable SP2's built-in Windows Firewall.
If you haven't installed a firewall program, configure the Windows
Firewall to allow file sharing.

Make sure that the shared disks, folders, and printers on XP have
share names that aren't longer than 12 characters.
