you may just need to create local username as the same as the win98's username. this page talks about domain and workgroup sharing, but it may help,

On the WXP computer, how do I change the Username to log on the remote W98 computer?But on the W98[SE] PC (let's call it "PC-W98"), how do I know the users it has, and the one who is active?

And when I know this, on the WXPHome computer, when in Windows Explorer I double-click "PC-W98", what I get is:
a.. 1 time in 10, I can see the files on W98;
b.. 9 times in 10, I get the windowlet:
Connect to PC-W98
Username: PC-W98\Guest
Password:
| OK | | Cancel |

and at that time, I can only click "OK" (then the windowlet comes again), or "Cancel" (giving up seing the files in PC-W98); I see no way to change "Guest" with another User name.
Anyone knows how to change that user name? TIA,

Robert, I have 2 questions.

1) On the W98[SE] PC (let's call it "PC-W98"), how do I know
the users it has, and the one who is active?

2) On the WXPHome computer, even after creating an User with
same name as on PC-W98, when in Windows Explorer I double-click
"PC-W98", what I get is:
- 1 time in 10, I can see the files on W98;
- 9 times in 10, I get the windowlet:
______________________________
| Connect to PC-W98
|______________________________
| Username: PC-W98\Guest [greyed out, non-editable]
| Password: [blank]
| | OK | | Cancel |
|______________________________

and at that time, I can only click "OK" (then the
windowlet comes again), or "Cancel" (giving up
seing the files in PC-W98); I see no way to
change "Guest" with another User name.

Anyone knows how to change that "loging" user name? TIA,
