Microsoft knowledge base 322097 refers to slow connections from an xp machine accessing
a 98 machine. It's due to "Windows XP saves the password in the Credential Manager.
When you browse the same Windows 98 or Windows Me client, Credential Manager tries
to contact a domain controller to validate the password. Because the computers are
in a workgroup environment, there is no domain controller, and you must wait until
the requests timeout." They also said that the xp service pack 1 fixes it. They didn't
address a 98 machine accessing a xp machine.
