so if I understand correctly your 98 box can't see the XP box, can XP box can't see the 98 box at this time? could be a simple conflict with how MS keeps changing networking from one OS to the next...

me I would try installing XP on both and see if it will work correctly... just use your copy you have now and don't register it which would give you a few weeks of testing to see if that is the problem.
