On the 98 machine, click on start ->settings -> control panel ->
network and change the primary logon to windows logon. Then log off
and log on as (say) "user1" and use a blank password. The next time
you log on you won't be asked for a password. Then, as you already
know, you need to create an account called user1 on the xp box.

If, when you reboot, your 98 box is still not automatically logging on
as user1, then you need to edit the registry as follows :-

Delete the autologon value in

HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/network/realmodenet

The IPC$ prompt is Win98SE's cryptic way of telling you that Win XP
computer denied networked access because it didn't recognize the user
who requested it.

If the XP computer runs Windows XP Home Edition:

1. Enable networked access by typing this command in the Start | Run
box on XP:

  net user guest /active:yes

2. Remove the network password from the Guest account on XP:

  a. Click Start | Run.
  b. Type "control userpasswords2" in the box and click OK:
  c. Click Guest.
  d. Click Reset Password.
  e. Click OK without entering a new password.

If the XP computer runs Windows XP Professional:

1. Determine whether simple file sharing is enabled or disabled:
 
   a. In My Computer, click Tools | Folder Options | View.

   b. Scroll to the end of the list of advanced settings and look
       the box labeled "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)".

2. If simple file sharing is enabled, follow the two steps listed
above for Windows XP Home Edition.

3. If simple file sharing is disabled:

  a. Create a logon password for the user account on XP.
  b. Log onto Windows 98 using the same user name and password.

I got 100% workin solution guys...
