There was no hosts file - I edited the hosts.sam (sample) file and added
both machines to it. But there must be more.

I can ping the CentOS host by IP address and, now that there's a hosts
file, by host name as well. However, Win98 can't see the network at all
- claims there isn't one. It is running the M$ client for M$ networks
(and for NetBIOS networks, as well), but the network is not getting
properly initialized. And now we are definitely sliding OT here (is
there a forum where and answer to this can be found?).

'fraid I don't know what that means - the printer is just available to
be shared via samba and so should be visible on a M$ network (like in
the XP guest?).
I'm going to be playing with the Windows box RSN - when I'm done with
it, it will have Win98, XP Pro and, of course, CentOS, but there's a
fair amount of work to be done before that will work.
