Typically, you will not be able to connect your 98 machine to any NT/XP machine unless the share has the "Everyone" group in it. The IPC password request will never work.

The alternative is to create an account on the XP machine that matches the login ID and password of the user on the 98 machine and to use a net use command to map a drive.
