Everything looks okay, but I seem to recall a problem in the stock 
RedHat 5.2 config where the localhost line in /etc/hosts was 
screwed up (ie, I think you're having a name resolution problem).

Questions:

Why did you take the host file out of:

> name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast

Do you have a local DNS?  I'm running named and samba under RH52 at 
home (but I don't have win98) with no trouble.  I'm no expert, but 
I think you need /etc/hosts (the fixed version).  I'll send you 
mine from home tonight.
