You don't say whether the IP addresses for your computers are static or dynamic. In my experience , especially if you're mixing XP and 98 it's best to give each computer a static address, (192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2) with the sub mask as 255.255.255.0. This should enable you to share properly.
Obviously, as others have pointed out, you must be sharing the files correctly.
best of luck

Now all of a sudden the second machine no longer shows up in "My Network Places" and isn't an option when I try to import files from it. What is going on? It was there before. What am I missing?

In network properties, you have to enable files/folder sharing. On each computer, you have to right click and choose properties, than "sharing" tab.

I'm trying to network our two home machines, an XP and a Windows 98.
Initiated it on the XP, set things up there, made the network setup disk and
started the process on the 98 machine. Then it asked me to put in the Win
98
disk which I could not find. So I told it to skip those files and it said I
could re-run the network setup wizard later using different settings.
Moments
later I found the 98 disk but then I couldn't figure out how to run the
network setup wizard. So I tried putting in the network setup disk in again
and sure enough the wizard came back up. So I ran it but this time it
didn't
ask for the Win 98 disk. The long and short of this is both machines can
access the internet through our router, however we cannot share files. It
says the other machine is not accessible. "You might not have permission to
use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find
out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found." I am
the administrator. So, my questions are what am I missing and how do I fix
it? Any and all help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Cindy

In Explorer, Right-click the folders you wish to share, click the "sharing"
tab, fill in the dialogue box.
For XP, it's "Sharing and Security".

******* File/folder sharing is enabled on both computers but it still won't let me access them.
