Mapping to drives on Win2K network

I need to map to a drive on a corporate network (from my win98 laptop) that
has a path as follows:
\\xxx.yyy.com\aaa\bbb\ccc

When I do this from my WinXP desktop, it maps as "ccc on
xxx.yyy.com\aaa\bbb"
But when I try it on my win98 laptop it only maps to the first level:
"aaa on xxx.yyy.com", but since I don't have any rights at that level I
can't navigate to a lower level

Is this a limitation of win98? Am I stiuck?
Or is there a way around this?

It is a limitation of Windows 98, which can only connect directly to a
share.

Bummer. Will an upgrade to SE help?
I don't think this laptop could handle XP.

Nope, Windows 98 Second Edition won't either. Only NT-based systems can map
to a folder within a share unless that folder is also shared.
