Networking XP and 98

I am trying to connect an xp home laptop to a 98 laptop for file transfering purposes
using a crossover cable. I am sure everything is set up right, and i can see the
98 pc in the xp's network places. But when i click on the computers name(win98) it
says i dont have access to the share. I don't believe that i have set any restrictions,
i have given the shared folder full access without a password. I even enabled netbios
to see if that would work. Is there something i could be forgetting to do? I also
disabled all firewalls. Help appreciated.

Have you manually assigned IP addresses for the two pcs?

Try logging onto 98 with a (non-blank) password. You may have to create a user in
the Users control panel.
