You must turn _off_ encrypted passwords in win98 unless your SAMBA server is using a password server (the NT domain controller and its backup). I was having this problem and it turned out to be samba was not rereading the config file when I made changes to it try /etc/init.d/samba restart or force-reload use testparm to check this.
