In order to be able to access a shared resource in a peer-to-peer network, you need to make sure that both machines have a valid user account.

for example in your situation, the computer that has the shared resource should have a user account created with the same user name that you log into your win 98 machine.

Then, when you log into the win 98 machine as usual and get prompted for a password, enter the same password that you entered to log into the win 98 client.
