As long as the 98 machine is in the same workgroup, Client for MS Networks is installed, and TCP/IP is working with proper IP assignment, access is no problem as long as the XP machine is using simple file sharing or the Guest account is enabled and the 98 machine is set to log on to Microsoft Networking. File systems have nothing to do with network access. If there is a TCP/IP issue, you can install IPX/SPX or NetBEUI on both machines.
