    both must be in a workgroup

    shared level access (w98 network control panel settig)

    workgroup must have same name on both systems

    assume you have a system called XPSYSTEM

    it has an administrator account, password is blank

    Log onto win 98 as (in full in the user field)

    XPSYSTEM\administrator

    leave password blank and hit OK
