It has nothing to do with both computers using the same dial up. I've done
this many times before, and as long as they both don't try to get on at the
same time it's no problem. It is most likely a problem with Outlook. Outlook
in XP is very different from what you have under 98. I had some problems
using Outlook in XP especially with a dial up connection. I would check the
security settings of the account in Outlook, especially where it asks if
your server requires a secure password and the SSL options.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Double dialup

I set up a two computer network in  small office yesterday, and I'm having
trouble with the dialup connection.
One is Win 98 on a 2-3 year old Gateway, the other is XP Pro on a new Dell.
Both will connect to the internet, but only one can retrieve mail using
Outlook. After I tested the Gateway connection and retrieved the email, I
disconnected and attempted the same thing with the Dell. Error message is:
"Username or password rejected". I verified the info and still couldn't
retrieve email. I suspect this has something with two PCs using the same
dialup account, but I'm not sure of the solution. Any ideas?
