That's Win98SE's cryptic way of telling you that Win2K denied access
because it didn't recognize the user who requested it.

Create an account on the Win2K machine with the same user name and
password that you use to log onto the Win98 machine. If the shared
resources on XP Pro have the default "Everyone" permission, that will
solve the problem.
