File/Printer Sharing Prob between XP and 98

[farmboy]

I have a 98 PC that has File and Print Sharing enabled.
There are 3 XP pc's and 2 98 pc's that access the files
and printer on this 98 pc. All pc's have been accessing
both the printer and files for months. Three days ago my
XP pc's quit accessing this pc. I can still access it
from the other 98 pc's. Why did they stop? What can I
do to fix it.

THANKS

I am having a similar problem. My Win98 machines working
fine, but my XP Professional machines are unable to see
the Win98 machines and vice versa. Work yesterday.
Workgroup the same. Able to ping in both directions.
This happened before but I dont know what fixed it.
