WinXP - Win95 2PCs LAN problem

Can someone please tell me how to set the two PC's LAN between Win95 & WinXP? I use TCP/IP as a protocol. WinXP IP: 192.168.0.1 Win95 IP: 192.168.0.10 Workgroup: LOCAL WinXP PC pings on itself and on Win95 PC, but can't access any shared folder on that PC (though detects it in "My Network Places"). Win95 PC pings on itself, but doesn't on WinXP PC. What is the problem? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

Only a suggestion:
Try to close the firewalls on both machines.

Thank you for quick response, but I have no firewall on Win95 PC, and WinXP firewall is already disabled on LAN connection.

Thank you all for help. At the end it was the firewall problem. I've forgotten about my ZoneAlarm firewall on the XP machine.
