File Sharing

I want to hook up my computers so that I will be able to share files between them. I already have them hooked up to a Linksys router and are both sharing the same internet connection. One comp is runnin 98 and the other is runnin XP Pro. I tried to use the Create a Network thing on the XP one but it didn't work. My computers see themselves but not each other. Can someone tell me what im doing wrong?

Do you have them both in the same "work group"? Check each computer's name under control panel/system and see if you have them in the same work group.

I really can't get into the workgroup thing on my XP comp. Is that the problem?
