    It sounds like you're talking about Samba?

    If so, here's my samba config file that works with WinXP *and* Win98:
    (Note: I set up a username called "shared" as the only shared directory.)

    /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
    -----------------
    [global]
            valid users = shared
            force user = shared
            guest account = shared
            default case = lower
            case sensitive = no
            remote announce = 192.168.0.5/YourWindowsWorkgroupName
            auto services = global
            default = global
            dns proxy = no
            encrypt passwords = no
            null passwords = yes
            security = share
            socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
            max log size = 50
            server string = dev
            netbios name = dev
            netbios aliases = dev
            workgroup = YourWindowsWorkgroupName
            log file = /var/log/samba.log

    #============================ Share Definitions ==============================

    [shared]
            path = /home/shared/
            writable = yes
            force user = shared
            force group = shared
            guest account = shared
            public = yes
