This is due to the lack of open ports to the Windows XP machine from Windows 98.
The best configuration I suggest is to REVERT the settings. Remove the proxy server
from Windows 98, turn on ICS on Windows XP. Turn on the firewall as well and go to
configure the open ports in network properties for the internet connection. Set a
static IP for both the computers(when you enable ICS on XP it automatically sets
it as 192.168.0.1 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0) so you only really need to set
it for the Windows 98 machine. Force the IP of 192.168.0.1 and subnet 255.255.255.0.
Next go to the gateway tab and add 192.168.0.1. On the DNS tab, enable DNS, type
in anything for the DNS Name(i'm not sure if that makes a difference but apparently
not), and add the dns server 192.168.0.1 and then click OK. Reboot and it should
work.
