The basic issue here is that Windows XP (or 2000)
assumes it is talking to a server. If you had Windows
NT or 2000 server on the box that has 98 on it things
would be fine. There is something differerent in the
TCP stacks (I think) that causes this problem. I have
seen a work-around for this in the past (having the same problem at home myself after
going to XP yesterday), and I was searching for it again when I ran across your post.
As I recall it is a registry change to change a TCP parameter (don't recall on which
end).
If I find it again I will send another reply
