did you check the users on both machines?

1. All PCs must be in the same workgroup.
2. You must have shares established on the Win2K/XP machine.
3. Win98 PCs must be logged on using Client for Microsoft Networks as the Primary logon in Networking - none of that "Cancel" stuff!
I believe this applies to winxp too.
4. The username and password used on the Win98 machines must be known to the Win2K/XP machine. In other words, you must either log on to Win98 with the same username and password as Win2K/XP or add the username and password in Win2K/XP using the Users and Password/Groups applet in Control Panel.
