linux only "speaks" tcp/ip, win$ machine may also "speak" netbeui
depending on the machines' config, the linux box could not see win$ boxes
if they are netbeui only
if win$ boxes have both netbeui and tcp/ip or better tcp/ip only, the linux
box will be able to communicate
>Is there any damages that may happen to the win98 LAN ??
no ;-) linux is not a stealth weapon ;-)

quite sure
>Could my machine then be the server and control the other accounts?
yes
linux can be internet proxy server (squid), file/print server (samba),
router (ipchains), and so on
i'm not sure however that "internet connexion sharing" would not need to be
recongifured
