Sup ya'll, well remember a while back i asked how to network to 2 comps together and you guys helped, now I recently upgraded to win xp home (clean install) and heres the problem

I originally had 2 computers (both win98se) and they were networked and everything worked fine. Now I formated one of the comps and installed Win Xp home and ran the network wizard, then everything messed up. The network doesnt connect...I even tryed going to command prompt and pinging but it timed out....So im gona start over
How would i network the 2 machines (xp and 98 se), i have all the hardware and its compatible and everything, the ip on the second machine is 10.0.0.2 with subnet set at 255.255.255.0

help please,
