You can get into the Windows 98 Box because it has share level access. You can't get into the Windows XP box because it has User Level Access.
If you type net use g: \\XPBoxName\C$
it will prompt you for a username and password. Once successful it will map your g drive to the hidden share for the root of C. If you create an account on the XP box that has the same name and password of what you're logging into the Windows 98 box with then you will not have to give this password because it is chached on the 98 box after your login. Of course, file permissions will come into play so be sure to give the 98 username plenty of rights for your task.

Also, if the modem is on the 98 box and you want to share the connection with the XP box then I think you're out of luck. If it were the other way around then all good. I think you can download some software to make the 98 box do what you need but not by default.
