Mapping network drive

Comment:

I was wondering how to map a network drive from my pc (windows xp pro) to my other pc (windows 98). when i go to "map network drive" can i just type in: \\ipAddress\folder ? I get this error that says, "The specified server cannot perform the requested operation." is there something i need to do to the win98/winXP machine first?

Is the folder shared on 98 box? Is File Sahre Service installed? (on 98)
