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!)

libsmbclient
LIBSMBCLIENT(7) 7 LIBSMBCLIENT(7)
NAME
libsmbclient - An extension library for browsers and that can be used as a generic browsing API.
SYNOPSIS
Browser URL: smb://[[[domain:]user[:password@]]server[/share[/path[/file]]]] [?options]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
libsmbclient is a library toolset that permits applications to manipulate CIFS/SMB network resources using many of the standards POSIX
functions available for manipulating local UNIX/Linux files. It permits much more than just browsing, files can be opened and read or
written, permissions changed, file times modified, attributes and ACL's can be manipulated, and so on. Of course, its functionality
includes all the capabilities commonly called browsing.
libsmbclient can not be used directly from the command line, instead it provides an extension of the capabilities of tools such as file
managers and browsers. This man page describes the configuration options for this tool so that the user may obtain greatest utility of use.
OPTIONS
What the URLs mean:
smb://
Shows all workgroups or domains that are visible in the network. The behavior matches that of the Microsoft Windows Explorer.
The method of locating the list of workgroups (domains also) varies depending on the setting of the context variable
(context->options.browse_max_lmb_count). It is the responsibility of the application that calls this library to set this to a sensible
value. This is a compile-time option. This value determines the maximum number of local master browsers to query for the list of
workgroups. In order to ensure that the list is complete for those present on the network, all master browsers must be queried. If
there are a large number of workgroups on the network, the time spent querying will be significant. For small networks (just a few
workgroups), it is suggested to set this value to 0, instructing libsmbclient to query all local master browsers. In an environment
that has many workgroups a more reasonable setting may be around 3.
smb://name/
This command causes libsmbclient to perform a name look-up. If the NAME<1D> or NAME<1B> exists (workgroup name), libsmbclient will list
all servers in the workgroup (or domain). Otherwise, a name look-up for the NAME<20> (machine name) will be performed, and the list of
shared resources on the server will be displayed.
When libsmbclient is invoked by an application it searches for a directory called .smb in the $HOME directory that is specified in the
users shell environment. It then searches for a file called smb.conf which, if present, will fully over-ride the system /etc/samba/smb.conf
file. If instead libsmbclient finds a file called ~/.smb/smb.conf.append, it will read the system /etc/samba/smb.conf and then append the
contents of the ~/.smb/smb.conf.append to it.
libsmbclient will check the users shell environment for the USER parameter and will use its value when if the user parameter was not
included in the URL.
