No LAN visible in XP?

[am]

I just upgraded my Win98SE machine with a formatted, clean install of
WinXP Professional. I configured the network during the installation,
assigning my old static IP address, subnet mask, etc. The install
went very smoothly, but I can't see the other Win98 machine in My
Network Places, and it can't see me in Network Neighborhood.

This is a drag because I backed up all my essential files to that
machine, so I could drag them back through the LAN. I know the
machines are still connected, because I can ping each one via the
other successfully, and can play multiplayer games without difficulty.

Maybe a logon problem? I only set up one account, mine, and I never
get a logon prompt when XP starts, maybe my ability to access the lan
is disabled?

Nothing is visible in the My Network Places box.

Dial-up Networking is working flawlessly.

thanks for any help

Check the workgroup name, and ensure the file shares are set up
properly.

Yep, I did that already, workgroups are the same, file sharing is
enabled on all shared drives.

Funny thing, now I can see my XP machine from the Win98 machine, and
can see the drives I shared from the XP machine, but can't see the
Win98 machine from the XP machine.

Appreciating the help,
