The laptop is probably set to log onto a domain when you are at work
and you are getting an error massage because no server is available to
validate the logon when you are at home.
However, if you look at the error message closely it will say you
won't have access to some resources. Notably some not all. If your
win98 box is set to share level access this will still be accessible
for sharing after you have OK'ed past that error message. Providing of
course that everything else is okay eg same workgroup name.

You don't HAVE TO use dhcp but that's another issue and there's no
reason not to.
Let both computers get an ip address from the router.
If the above means you have to constantly change settings on the
laptop to get it to work between home and office, there are programs
like netswitcher
www.netswitcher.com to facilitate the change.
