    I have a PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.2.8 and Windows 98 (not SE)
    I have a wireless hub that came from my DSL provider, ethernet to PC and
    Airport card to Mac

    Configuration isn't exactly the same so don't know if this will apply but I
    was getting this error too. I had turned on Sharing on both systems but
    when I went to connect from my Mac it would give me that error

    I checked all kinds of links and never saw anybody reference this but this
    is what worked for me . . .

    I added the PC logon username as an account on my Mac and turned on "allow
    user to log in from Windows"

    Fixed! although I still can't do printer sharing . . . Research has taken
    me to Ghostscript (??) But haven't read about that yet . . .

    Good luck
