Remote computer managment

Hello,

    This is my first post so I hope it's in the right forum. I have a small home network (2 computers). One is a new Dell dimension 9100 running windows xp media center 2005. The other is an older machine running windows 98se. I  use a star topology network. I have run the network setup wizard on both machines. I have no trouble sharing files and both computers show up in network places. I can ping between the computers also. My problem is that I want to remotely administer the 98 machine from the xp machine. I open administrative tools, computer managment , actions-connect to another computer, but the 98 machine doesn't show up. If I search my work group the xp machine is there but not the 98 machine. If I type in the name of the 98 machine, I get an error message that the computer name is invalid, which of course it isn't. I have set up the 98 machine to enable remote administration, but to no avail. I am fairly computer savy and have checked all my configurations and every thing seems to be as it should.  I can type net view from the command prompt and both machines are there. Is this a compatability problem? Any ideas would be appreciated.
