The problem is how Win98 encrypts passwords.  Somewhere in the source code
for Samba, there's a registry file that you can run on your Win98 system.
This reg file will make Win98 use plain text passwords.

I've done this on my home system and it seems to work well.

Yes, meant to mention that.  None of the suggestions there seemed to do
any good.
