James:   run the Network Setup Wizard on the 98 computer again, use the Network Setup 
disk created on the XP.

2. restart all the computers in this sequence only:
                1. XP computer acting as host,
                2, other XP computers,
                3. Win98 and other non-XP computers.

3, open Network Neighborhood on the 98 computer;
you should see all the network computers.
right-click each icon to display the shared resources.

see the links below after your text for more ideas.
