Do you have samba running with or without encrypted passwords?  If 
you were running in non-encrypted mode, then win98 will refuse to 
connect (if you don't add the EnablePlainTextPassword reg key).

You can either run samba with encrypted passwords, or add the reg 
key to all your win98 clients.  There's a win95password.reg file 
you can use; see also Encryption.txt for more details.
