xp-98 network share

I'm unable to get windows 98 computers to map to a shared
folder on a windows xp computer. When it attempts to do
so I receive a message that "the logon server is not
available".

Computers are all running TCP/IP and can see each other
in network neighborhood/places. XP computers on the
network can map the drive with no problem, but they get a
logon prompt when mapping the drive and the windows98
computers do not. How do I get the window98 computers to
be able to map a drive to this folder?

did u make sure that both have a common user a ccount with same
password and that u are logged on.

Even if the 98 computers logon to windows with the user
name and password for the XP share they still have the
same problem. When they click on the share in neighborhood
or attempt to map a drive to the share rather than a logon
prompt, like the XP machines get, they get an error
message "no logon servers available".
