Default Age of Empires II multiplayer problem on Windows 98

I am running Age of Empires II on one computer with Windows XP and the other
with Windows 98. Both computers are connected to a local network (LAN) and
the network is up. I've added a protocol IPX/SPX to the Windows 98 machine
network. I started a multiplayer game on the XP under the LAN connection.
The 98 machine can see that there is a game, but it doesn't allow it to
connect to it. It returns a message saying "unable to join." I can't figure
out what to do. I've installed the last version of Direct X and the latest
update for the game on both computers. I also have another 98 machine and
I've been able to connect using that machine and play a multiplayer game, so
I know the problem is with the other 98 machine. Can anyone help me?
