Are you using smbclient?  Not clear how you are reading or attempting to
write files from Linux to a service on a Windows98 box.  Please give
additional details or try this

To connect to a Samba share from a Linux system, from a shell prompt, type
the following command:
    smbclient // hostname/ sharename -U username

Replace hostname with the hostname or IP address of the Samba server you
want to connect to, sharename with the name of the shared directory you want
to browse, and username with the Samba username for the system. Enter the
correct password or press [Enter] if no password.

If you see the smb:\> prompt, success!  Type help for a list of commands. If
you wish to browse the contents of your home directory, replace userename
with your windows username. If the -U switch is not used, the username of
the current user is passed to the Samba server.

To exit smbclient, type exit at the smb:\> prompt.

You can also use Nautilus to view available Samba shares on the Gnome
desktop if you are into the GUI thing.
