Network Setup problem

[SirBlack]

My wife's computer crashed last month & I was finally able to build her a new PC from parts I had here. Unfortunately, she refuses to upgrade from Windows 98SE. She's connected to my PC (XP Pro) thru a wireless router. She has no problem with connecting to the Internet but is unable to share files or use the printer connected to my PC. I've tried everything I can think of to add her PC to our LAN to no avail. When I click on Entire Network, I get the following message: Unable to browse the network. The network is not accessible. For more information, look in the Help Index at the topic: "Network Troubleshooting". It's probably something real minor that I'm not doing but I'm so frustrated, I'm not thinking right.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Check and make sure Client for Microsoft is installed in the properties of the adapter.

Do you get 0.0.0.0 or an APIPA (169.254.x.x) at winipcfg?
