XP to 98 Dialup Server

This is a discussion about XP to 98 Dialup Server in the Windows Networking category; I cannot figure out how to get XP Pro to dial into a Win98 dialup Server. I can dial in an connect via two 98 boxes by just entering a password. After connecting I can browse the 98 dialup servers shared directories.

I cannot figure out how to get XP Pro to dial into a Win98 dialup Server.

I can dial in an connect via two 98 boxes by just entering a password. After connecting I can browse the 98 dialup servers shared directories.

However, I cannot get passed the user name password authentication screen when trying to connect from an XP pro machine.

The error message is invalid username password. I have reset both and tried again but no luck.

Anyone have the same issue or recommendations on a fix?

Yes I lnow why win98. Simply, money and because I have to.

Yes, I have used no username and just the password, but that didn't work either for XP.

The shares are not a problem. It the dial up authentication that is. Like when one logs into Prodigy or something.
