XP/98 connection

[Brian]

We have a Windows 2000 Server, 2 XP Pro Computers, and 2
98 Second Edition computers all connected to the server
and sharing information. All operating systems have the
latest service packs installed.

We share printers between an XP (host) computer and a 98
(cleint) computer. Everything was working fine, now the
98 computer, while it will see the XP computer in Network
Neighborhook in can no longer be attached, either to the
printer or computer. The reverse is not true, the XP
computer is able to attach and share files with the 98
computer.

Any ideas?
