On your 98 machine do you have netbeui and the ipsx protocol installed? On your network properties box click add, then protocols, then microsoft, and add the netbeui and ipsx. reboot and see if your network picks it up.
What about firewalls? Do you have any installed? Some firewalls require you to recognize the network pcs individually to be able to access the network properly.

Enable the guest account on the Windows XP Machine

a Common problem between Windows 9x OS and Windows 2000 the guest account needs to be enabled to network between the 2

Not sure it is the same under XP but as it is NT Technology might be the same
