Are you calling the correct IP address for the XP Pro Remote Desktop host?

Anything in the host event log of interest when a Windows 98 client tries
and fails to connect versus a successful connection from another client?

Are all of these PCs, ie. the host and clients, on the same LAN?

Is the XP Pro host running the new SP2 Windows Firewall? If so are you
filtering Remote Desktop incoming requests by IP or subnet?

On one of the Windows 98 clients have your tried uninstalling the Remote
Desktop client software, rebooting the PC then reinstalling the client
software?
