At home I have Networked 2 Machines.
1 with NT and 1 with Win98, I can see both PC's on the Network and have full access from the NT Machine to Win98.
But if I try to access the NT Machine from Win98 it will ask for a Password and even though I provide the correct Password for NT it says it is incorrect ??

Try providing the credetntials as NT_MACHINENAME\your_login and then the password.
On the NT box, make sure that you allow the group EVERYONE to access the share and in User Manager, in the User Rights(Show advanced), make sure that Access this computer from the network has the same Everyone group included.
You need to become familiar with the way NT authentication works...there is a lot of material on the Internet about it.
I hope this helps.

Above is correct but also make sure you have the same username and password (as what you use on the W98 system) added to the NT station as a user with appropriate priveleges.
