networking XP Pro and WIN 98

[Terry Osborne]

Hi!

I have my upstairs computer wilelessly networked to a
computer downstairs (for internet access purposes).
However, I need to be able to access files from that
downstairs computer. How do I set up both computers so
that I can share a folder on each with each other? I can
see the the WIN 98 computer from the XP Pro but I can't
access it. What am I missing?


I have a wireless network (linksys) and am using Win XP
Pro on the upstairs computer and WIN 98 on the downstairs
computer. WIN 98 computer cable wired (not wireless) to
router. DSL modem connected to router also.

thanks!
