cannot access shared folders on XP system

[Pete Maddox]

The XP system is in a workgroup, using DHCP. It seems to
be an authentication issue, but I cannot resolve it. I
am able to connect from another W98 system with a
different username. However, using the same name or
creating others results in the same "Unkn9ow error 31".

I really don't want to reinstall. But, it seems the only
way around this.
