On your server you need to get the IP address.
Then on the win98 terminal you need to put the full name of the samba share
eg if you called the shared drive "myShare", and IP address from ifconfig told you the server IP was 192.168.1.120 you would access by typing in the folowing into the file manager / explorer bar in win98
Code:
//192.168.1.120/myShare
If you can't ping the server's IP however, you have different issues.
Also, if you are connecting via a router, you may need to make sure that the router isn't acting as a name server, or you may get a conflict (routers IP addresses are normally something like 192.168.0.1 or similar), it should come up as the netmask or default gateway in the report from ifconfig.
Hope that helps.
