You need a rj45 crossover cable and yes you need to enable file and printer sharing.
Also if you have XP - just use networking wizard.

Needs to be a crossover, or you have to use a HUB with standard cable - operating systems don't matter. Network wizard the Win2000 then make a floppy at the end of the wizard and run the exe file from floppy on the win98 machine.

Or you could do it manually - by going ito network places then select properties, then TCP/IP and type in a fixed address e.g.
198.98.198.10
255.255.255.0
Then same on next computer but change to
198.98.198.20
The computers should now see each other and will default to the basic MSHOME workgroup.
