Malke,
Thank you a lot for help! I found the problem and have it fixed. The web
site you told me http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm is excellent. It guides me to
my problem areas after I answer the questions. My problem is:
"Windows XP sometimes alters or disables the LAN Manager password, so
computers with Windows 9x or ME suddenly get authentication failures and
subsequent account lockouts. If you have such inexplicable authentication
problems, go to the Windows XP or 2000 computer you are trying to access,
re-enter the password and re-enable the account if it's still locked out. "
After I had my two Windows XP computers password re-enter, my Windows 98 got
connection thought to my two Windows XP computers!
Thanks again for help.
Tony

I did not have any major change in all my computer setting (almost no
change). I feel this connection problem is from my Windows XP, not
Windows 98: This connection problem occurred in one of my Windows XP
first, and then another Windows XP about 3-4 weeks later. I mean, if
the connection problem is in Windows 98, then it will occur to both
Windows XP at same time. I am not sure if this has anything to do with
Windows Updates that causes my connection problem?
Here is my tests:
- My two Windows XP computers can access to my Windows 98 computer.
- My Windows 98 computer can ping to two Windows XP computers with 0%
loss. - For testing purpose, I turn off Windows XP Firewall to see if
connection work, but it doesn't.
- I disable my McAfee VirusScan, but no help.
I try all troubleshooting I know, but still not figure out the
connection problem.
Does McAfee have a firewall component? Perhaps it does, got updated, and
now you have two firewalls running. Look at Event Viewer on the XP
machines for clues:
Start>Run>eventvwr.msc [enter]
Are all machines virus/malware-free? McAfee will not catch non-viral
malware. Be sure:

Permissions to shares do not change all by themselves. You say no "major
changes" but what about minor changes?
Here is an excellent network troubleshooter by MVP Hans-Georg Michna.
Take the time to go through it because it will usually pinpoint the
problem area(s):
