  As suspected, the Win98 machine has no entry for DNS servers.

  If you go to the TCP/IP properties page, you'll find a radio button that
selects between obtaining an IP address automatically (it doesn't *say* "via
DHCP, but that's what it does) or entering one statically.  Further down the
same page are a second set of radio buttons and entry boxes for DNS.

  The XP machine is getting its IP address, and probably also its DNS
address, from the DHCP server on the router.  So setting both selections on
the Win98 box to "obtain automatically" has good odds of working.
  But in case it doesn't, you could try inserting the 192.168.0.1 address as
DNS server on the Win98 box -- apparently, the XP box is using that address
successfully.
