OK, here's what I've done.  I ran the networking wizard on my XP with the 
workgroup named "Home".  Then I made a networking disk and ran it on the 98 
machine, again using the workgroup name "Home".  I restarted the machines 
when it told me to and was able to see the 98 machine in my Network but 
unable to import or access any of the files and I have turned on sharing on 
both machines and selected the files and marked them to share (they have the 
little hand under them).  Now however, I can not even see the 98 machine in 
my Network Places (or visa versa).  I even tried resetting up the Network 
with new workgroup names.  Again, the first day I could see it but not 
access it, now I can't even see it.  I'm kind of at a loss.

Thanks,
Cindy
Hi Cindy,
This has been going on long enough that I don't have the original mails. 
You problem as I remember it is that you can access the internet from both
your Win98 and WinXP computers but they can't see each other in network 
neighborhood.  Is that correct?  Have you assigned the same workgroup name 
to both computers? Could you review the things you  have done to try to get 
the two computers to see each other?  If I'm completely off base on this, 
let me know.

You might as well leave the ip addresses alone at least until you confirm 
that everything else is configured correctly.  Your router will have a thing 
called a DHCP server built into it that assigns IP addresses. Your computers 
will be set up to get an IP address automatically.  If you access your 
router you will find a way to turn this feature on and off.  The fact that 
you are able to access the internet means that feature is working.
