My advice would be to do the following smbpasswd -a windows98username Enter the password you use for windows 98 connections and you'll be fine. You also will have to ensure that a unix account exists for the windows98username otherwise it will be unable to add the smbpasswd.

From the > Windows PC you can now view my Samba server :) The only problem is it is giving me password errors when trrying to log in. I have tried using every password I have to no avail. After looking back over the samba config I do not see any place to add a password.
