Martin, The remote browse sync option is not WINS, but "browse lists". You can not replicate WINS with SAMBA, even if both your servers are SAMBA servers. In 95% of the cases you don't really need to sync WINS (apart from high availability / load balancing). So you can rather configure your win98 machine to use the NT server for WINS.
There is a good document in the SAMBA source tree called "browsing", iirc, that will explain the name resolution process in detail.
