Connect to XP share from Win 98

I am stumped. Here is what I have:

Remote lab. All (only 3) computers were replaced with new XP Pro computers.
Computers were joined to the domain locally then sent to the remote lab. The
machines are all set to log on to the local machine (machine\user versus
domain\user). One XP workstation is used as a server for file sharing. Being
logged on to the machine instead of the domain allows the other XP
workstations to access the shared folder.

I have users with Windows 98 laptops that need to jack into the network and
access the shared folders. I am not able to because XP needs a user name as
well as a password. The "NET USE" statement in Windows 98 does not allow for
a user name to be passed, only a password.

Is there any way I can work around this? The remote machines cannot connect
to our domain to verify rights.

I have tried "everyone" full control on the share and NTFS permissions and I
have tried "Anonymous Logon" with full control. Neither helped. I cannot
have the users log on with the domain on the XP machines because they can't
access a domain controller from there.

Suggestions?
