There's no problem. Windows 98 can connect and share files with all
recent versions of Windows.

nate , you can file share and print share on 98 and
windows xp. just set up the network frist on the xp,
through the network wizard, and make a network setup disk
when prompted, to run in windows 98.

However Iam still unable to access xp from 98 all i get is incorrect

If you just want a simple connection use NETBEUI.
