File sharing between Win 98 and Win XP

I have a question about Connect a Windows XP or 2000 system to a Windows 95, 98, or Me system over a Network:

My network consists of two computers: a laptop ('LAPTOP') running WinXP and a desktop ('MBT') running Win98. Internet connection sharing is running fine (The XP machine is sharing its connection), but I can't get file or print sharing to work. The 98 machine won't recognize the XP machine in the network neighborhood, although I can ping the XP machine and get a response. The XP machine does recognize the 98 machine, and all of the shares are displayed in My Network Places - but I cannot access any of them. Furthermore, from the XP machine I can't ping "MBT" (I get a "could not find host" error), but if I enter the IP address ping works fine.

Both machines are logged in with the same user name and password, and simple file sharing is turned on on the XP machine.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
