I know nothing about your smb.conf to be of much use to you here and merely responded to the little glimpse of errors that you sharing with us (which I don't think are actually the issue). I suppose that you could go to windows 98 command line and try to authenticate manually... something like... net use f: \\SERVER_NAME\SHARE_NAME user:$USER_NAME but it's been a long time since I used Windows 98 so you better check the format of the command via 'net use /?'
