Windows xp pro and win 98 networking

[Tony Hayman]

I have been searching for help in setting up a simple
network between a windows 98 computer and my new xp pro
computer.

I am able to ping between the two, and I have managed to
see the 98 computer on the xp pro computer, but I can't
access files.

There seems to be a lot of mis-advice out there on what
exactly to do. Is there a step by step set of
instructions somewhere.
