Windows 98 and Vista basic COnnection problem

I have a windoes 98 machine and a vista basic machine, both having static
asddresses
within the same subnet. I can ping each other, but can not UNC to a share,
nor can I see the vista box within network neighboorhood. I try a UNC to a
share on the windows 98 box, and get "Host cannot be found. Computers are
running in a workgroup. . I have netbios enabled. There is no DHCP, dns, or
WINS servers. Just three machines (3 Windows 98, Vista basic). Cannot get
them to talk to each other, other than a ping. Anybody experienced this?
