Problems browsing from W98 on campus network with samba domain master

On my campus network, there's one wins server that can see every machine
on every subnet.
I want to provide access to all these computers to the W98 boxes in my
workgroup.  So here's what I did:

I created my own workgroup, set myself to be the local browse master and
domain master.  So now everything works properly on my linux box (rh 6.0,
samba 2.0.5a) and the W98 boxes in my workgroup can see all the workgroups
on campus.  But the strange thing is when they click on the workgroup,
they're always unable to browse the computers in them.

The Win98 boxes are properly configured to use netbios over tcp and they
can use shares from within the subnet, but not outside.

Anyone have any ideas?  TIA

here's a dump of my config files and a ngrep of one win98 box trying to
access a workgroup:

-----------------------smb.conf --------------------------
[global]
	workgroup = BOWLES-TEST
	netbios name = LL400
	server string = LL's Samba Server
	bind interfaces only = Yes
	security = SHARE
	encrypt passwords = Yes
	smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 50
	name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast
	time server = Yes
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
	load printers = No
	os level = 90
	preferred master = Yes
	domain master = Yes
	dns proxy = No
	wins proxy = Yes
	wins server = 169.229.70.155
	remote announce = 169.229.70.255 169.229.74.255
	remote browse sync = 169.229.70.155 169.229.107.255 169.229.74.255
---------------------------------------------------------
and here is the ngrep of a w98 box trying to access the workgroup
WILLIAMS.  I've replaced my ip with <samba> and the Win98 box with <Win>
and the subnet broadcast address with <bcast> for easier reading.

interface: eth0 (169.229.107.0/255.255.255.0)
filter: ip and ( host <Win> )
