OK, what do you mean by "can't connect to to the workgroup "Linux""? The Wintendo box won't connect to the server? You said Win98 and ME, right? Hmmm... Are you using encrytped passwords? I doubt that it's an encrypted passwords problem, though. Unless the Wintendo machines had their Registry edited to pass unencrypted passwords and samba is expecting encrypted. But I thought that should still work... Can you post your smb.conf? Could it be case mangling (or whatever it's called)? I had a hell of a time with a Win 98 box at work because of that. Could it be a username/password problem?
