[Samba] Win98 password problem

[jim.deas at warnerbros.com]

I have a standard Redhat 7.2 install of Samba running on a firewall.
My Win2K machine is working well using a shared drive and a Epson
printer via samba.
 My Win98 box will not connect. I have checked and an account
exist for this box (via smbpasswrd) but it claims the password is
invalid.
 How do I check this out? I can see no place in Win98 where I can
check the user name and the password I have supplied is rejected

Thanks.

** I'm using encrypted password. I would like to stay that way if this
problem with Win98 is not related.
