Win2000 to win98:cannot share files or printer

have two PCs, one recently upgraded to Win2000 and it has a Linksys wireless router hardwired to it. The second PC is win98. They worked fine before the upograde but now I cannot get them to share files or printers. The second PC has a wireless PCI card and it seems to recognize the network. AND the second PC DOES have access to the internet (DSL modem).

It HAS to be something to do with file sharing? Both PCs show sharing of folders and printers. Just cannot get them to recognizize each other. I tried to have a workgroup called "Family" set up but that doesn;t seem to work. Ran the two "config" on both machines and they have the correct ip addresses.

I ran into a similar problem and if my memory serves me right I believe we needed to remove the Everyone share from both locations and just use account names. Hope this helps.
