As I read Leon's message, his Windows 98 desktop is trying to log onto
a domain. That's probably because there are incorrect settings in
Control Panel | Network | Client for Microsoft Networks | Properties.

These tips should help you get the network going with TCP/IP as the
only protocol:
1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all other
firewalls while troubleshooting. Details here:

2. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
Details here:
Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)
