DLink 614+ Network with XP Home and Windows 98

[Brandon Grady]

My network setup is as follows:

I have a DLink 614+ router which connects my network to the internet
provided by Time Warner.

My desktop computer is running a wired connection to the router and is
running Windows XP Home. There are user accounts.

My laptop computer is running a wireless connection with a DLink 650
Cardbus adapter and is running Windows 98.

I ran the network setup wizard on the XP machine, answering the
question of how I connected to the internet by saying I connect
through a device that is NOT on this machine (i.e., the router), then
create the network setup disk, which I then run on the Windows 98
machine.

Both machines can access the internet. Both machines can ping the
router. However, neither machine can see the other machine. I can't
ping between either machine, much less share files or devices. Any
thoughts on what I can check out to make this work?

Thanks!
