Unable to Get "Enter Network Password" panel

I've had to upgrade the motherboard of one of my 4 computers in my network. It's on a Win98SE machine connected to 2 other Win98SE machines and a WinXP machine on a home LAN using a broadband router. While trying to get the machine properly connected using all the steps outlined throughout all the HOWTO's offered on the 'net, I've somehow lost the "Enter Network Password" panel at boot time. I had it at one point (while I was still determining why networking wasn't working). I have the client set to Client for Microsoft Windows so I expected the password panel to show after booting. Can someone tell me how to fix this?
 
Welcome to AanandTech Networking Forum.

Try to uninstall the Network Components (remove them from the Control Panel / Network Properties). Check System Properties to make sure that your NIC is installed correctly (no hardware conflict, and no yellow signs) reboot and reinstall network?s protocols.

Instructions to configure here:

FS Guide to Windows Networking.
 
In the network control panel, change the initial windows login (I forget the exact text) to "Client for Microsoft Networks" instead of "Windows Login". (Been on XP too long!) Should do the trick.
