I have discovered the answer. Encyption. Win98 uses it, Samba does not. However, it can be configured to use encyption.
Neo, Thanks for the advise. I will be picking up the Samba book on my next trip to the bookstore. (My shopping list is growing rapidly!)

the server. See smb.conf(5)
for more information.

VERSION
This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite.

smbd(8) and smb.conf(5)
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of
Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
