hello Yves,
I'm no expert, but you may try doing a 'chcp' on a dos prompt on win98, same
on win2000 (don't know if it is called the same on w2000), and a
testparm|grep 'client code page' on the samba server...
maybe it's a codepage fault (they must be the same).
But don't take my word for it, maybe it's something else...
hope this helps
