Do you have "sercurity" or "security" in smb.conf?

If "sercurity": You did not run testparm, did you?

What is "read list = yes"?

What is "write list = yes"?

To use Win98 with Samba you will have to apply a registry hack or run 
Samba with encrypted passwords. Read ENCRYPTION.txt for this. What 
Win95.txt has to also applies to Win98.

I suggest you start over with "man smb.conf" and also have a look into 
DIAGNOSIS.txt.

        Robert
