file sharing with a 98 client in XP pro "Unknown error 31"

Try implementing IPX/SPX with NetBios as a protocol on
both machines...

This solved the exact issue on my network.

This is a home network 98 desktop and XP laptop.

I am trying to map a drive from a 98 client to a XP pro
client (server) in a peer-to-peer environment. I can
see
the XP client in network neighborhood from the 98
system,
but when I try to connect I get an "Unknown error 31"
message.

On the XP client I have shared the folder "My Documents"
given the appropriate permissions (full control), even
created a user account that has the same user name as
the
98 client, because 98 doesn't seem to allow for
authenticating as a different user, and still nothing.

I have tried mapping the drive direct using the computer
name and share as well as the domain name.did I mention
the XP is part of a different domain?

Don't tell me this is a "can't see an NTFS partition
from
a 98 client"...if that's the case how does a 98 client
connect to any file server with NTFS?

I know I'm going to kick myself, as it's probably
something that I'm just over looking?
