Remote win98 refusing to connect to samba server

[John LeMay]

This is actually a well known problem with Win98, however I do not have
the actual fix handy. There are a couple of things to try, however.
First, delete any files with the "pwl" extention in the Windows
directory (assuming this is where Windows is installed). Reboot. If you
still have no logon prompt, try incorporating the attached reg file into
your registry. 

If that doesn't work, I'm sure someone here probably knows the correct
bit to flip. I thought it was somewhere in the neighborhood of
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP, however I can't seem
to find the key.
