can't see win98 computer from XP

[Bill H.]

On the local network, the win98 computer in question can see the new winxp
computer (both are in the same workgroup) but the new xp computer cannot see
the win98 computer.

I can see the win98 computer from my win2k workstation.

How to make the winxp computer see the win98 computer?

Thanks!

Bill,
