Is one machine being used as a server, and are you using TCP/IP, or DHCP?

Most times this problem resolves if you create an account on the XP machine
that matches the login ID and password of the Win98 machine, you can login
and access resources on the Win XP machine from the Win98 machine.

Hi there, i have the same problem exactly. Although they have the same
workgroup, right ip addresses (im pinging and the 2 computers right) it
prompts me for a password. I create a guest account and still it doesnt work.
