When I spent time networking Win98 and Win2K boxes, in order for the
98's to access a share on the 2K server, the server had to have a user
created for each 98 user, and the username has to be the same as in
win98. This is the same as someone else said on the list, but I think
you misinterpreted what they said when you tried switching to Client for
MS Networks. No matter how you log on, whether it's locally, to a
domain, whatever, you've only got one username, so that username has to
be present on the Samba box in order to gain access. Rather, that is
what I think is going on here, from what I've read. I can't say for sure
though, as I have not worked much at all with Samba. Hope this helps
though.

I'm not seeing these.  I did set the option the the smb.conf file to
no
initially, but no change to either encrypted or not.  Also, I've set
the
Windows registries to allow plaintext passwords, still no luck.
