Accessing Win98 shared folder w/WinXP

Network consists of Win98 and WinXP workstations with
Win2K/WinNT servers. Would like to access a shared Win98
folder with the WinXP workstations, but when attempting, a
login screen with a Guest account login appears. Win98
shared is password protected, but cannot change the
username on the password screen. Was told Win98 system
requires a valid username, which it has. Guest account is
active on the XP system. Is there a reason for this,
can't seem to find a good lead in the Knowledgebase. (can
access shared folder - Win98 to Win98.
Thanks greatly.

What happens if you simply enter the password for the Win98 share and
click OK at the password prompt?
