networking Windows 98 SE and Windows XP Pro

[Phil McCullum]

I'm trying to network my Windows XP Pro computer to and
older one running Windows 98 SE. I was able to setup ICS
to share my DSL on both systems. I've set both IP subnets
to the same and both systems are set be on the same
workgroup. I also setup file and printer sharing on both
systems already. The problem is neither machine can see
the other one on the network. I was able to get them
connected once and had even moved files between but it is
no longer working. And no, I'm not using a hub. These
system are connected together directly. I've also run the
Network Setup Wizard on both systems. Anybody have any
ideas what might be wrong.
