ARGH!! i had a long, detailed reply and it got hosed, so here's the condensed version:
in my experience, it was NOT necessary to add NetBEUI or enable NetBIOS over TCP.
here are the links that helped me:
after setting up the ICS, you MUST use a microsoft networking password on the 98
machine as shown here: http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/browse.htm ... even though you
can still get to the internet, you will need to use a password to browse the network.
ensure the XP printer is shared: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/itpro/networking/printershare.asp
... run the add printer wizard on the 98 machine (use the defalt printer port setting
at first), then from the 98 machine, CAPTURE the printer port: http://www.jmu.edu/computing/helpdesk/selfhelp/captureprinterport.shtml
finally, if you are running firewall software, DISABLE the 'run at startup' option
(start it manually after boot, every time). leaving it enabled at boot has been known
to cause connection problems (broadband, lan gaming, etc...)
i swear, it worked for me. GOOD LUCK!
