Sorry, I haven't really been following this thread, but it now caught my
eye. Were there any specific error messages you receive when trying to
access the samba share from Win98? Eric may be right about it being a
permissions problem, but if that were the case then even Win2k should not
be able to access the share. I have seen similar problems to the one you
are reporting, and they usually have to do with the differences between
Win2k and Win98. Specifically, with Win2k you can specify a user id and
password for each network share you wish to access. But with Win98, the os
will automatically use your Microsoft networking user id and password for
accessing all network shares. If you don't have Win98 set up with a user
and password, you need to change your network properties to use the
Microsoft networking login prompt, then create a new user (in Control
Panel) with the appropriate user id and password.
