It's possible. Infact XP can see just about anything. I've got a win95 (installed off of floppies) that can be seen by my XP machines.
What part of the setting up file share are you up too? Have you enabled file sharing like as in you can go into explorer, right click on a directlry or driver and there is a "Sharing" option? Or haven't you gotten to that point yet?
Also, to make certain that the file sharing will work both computers need to be on the same subnet. Default it's 255.255.255.0 for a basic home network. To check your computers, make certain they're both on the same subnet mask and gateways are identical (your router/hub/switch whatever your plugged into). To do this is XP go to run and type cmd. That'll bring up the command prompt, type in "ipconfig" without the quotes and press enter. Do the same thing with the 98 machine except to get to the command prompt I believe you have to enter in command spelled out instead of cmd.
