by Hello,
At the moment, I'am also experimenting with win98-linux.
At the moment I still can't ping between win 98 and linux , so I'am not as
far as you yet, but
I've found something that might solve your problem:
***********
Windows98 and Samba
Symptom:
Samba doesn't work with Windows98
Cause:
Windows98 uses only encoded passwords.
Solution:
Use regedit to enter the following new values into the registry :
Enter a new DWORD "EnablePlainTextPassword" at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP] and set
this value to 1.
(you can find this on http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/ray_win98_smb.html)
Let me know when this works.
Good luck!
