File sharing between Win 98 and Win XP

My network consists of two computers: a desktop ('TECHSERVER') running WinXP and a desktop ('LOGISTIC') running Win98se. 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't ping the XP machine. The XP machine doesn't recognize the 98 machine. Furthermore, from the XP machine I can't ping "LOGISTIC" (I get a "REQUEST TIMES OUT" error), same happening from 98 machine.
