Have you checked the logs for nmbd and smbd? Are you having a problem determining the master browser? If so, this is configurable in the smb.conf. If demoting the samba service to allow other computers to be the master browser doesn't help then you can always set up your linux box as a wins server. You then point the win98 box to resolve names on the linux box and that should definitely solve the problem.

When it's up I use the command "service smb status" when I first boot up the machine and its active. I then will check Network neighborhood and both systems are listed. Five minutes later I will check NN again and only one system will be listed. I then use the service smb status command" and both smdb and nmdb are active. Does anyone else have any ideas?
