For mounts to Windows98 note that you have to specify the server netbios name on the mount (since it is not the same as the DNS name). In your example your would need to specify "servernetbiosname=WIN98" in the mount options (until mount.cifs autoretries with servernetbiosname assumed to be the beginning of the UNC name - note that later servers have a dummy netbios name that is used so this mount option is only needed for OS/2 and Win9x). I will try mounts to Windows98 again.
