AUTOLOG.INF - REMOVE THE
  AUTOLOGON REGISTRY ENTRY

  When you start Windows 98 you may not receive a Windows or Network logon
  dialog box. You may also receive one of the following error messages:
      No network provider accepted the given network path.

      The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not logged on to the
      network. The specified service does not exist.

  In addition, the Change Passwords tab may be missing from the Passwords
  Properties dialog box.

  This behavior can occur if the AutoLogon entry appears in the following registry key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Network\Real Mode Net
      AutoLogon=<x>
          where <x> is a number.
  To remove the AutoLogon entry from the registry:

    1.Select AUTOLOG.INF found in the \Tools\MTSutil folder on the Windows 98 CD.
    2.Right-Click AUTOLOG.INF.
      -or-
      Hold down the SHIFT key and press the function key, F10.
    3.Choose INSTALL to remove the AutoLogon entry.

Microsoft Network (NETBEIU) under Win98 Connection to Samba servers doesn't work because encrypted passwords are not supported by Samba

To fix this:

Add Registry entry:  EnablePlainTextPassword (as a Dword) and set value to 1 (one) in the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP

This can also be done by selecting PTXT_ON.INF in the \Tools\MTSutil folder on the Windows98 CD

To reenable encrypted passwords, set above registry value to zero, or select PTXT_OFF.INF

This information comes from microsoft knowledge base article: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q236/67.asp,
which seems difficult to get to directly.  If was called up by a search for "samba password"

First determine hardware address of the ethernet card.
    do this by configuring the TCP/IP with an IP address of another PC or Mac
    one plugged in, error message on other machine will report the hardware address  xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Then get port turned on and request an IP address from Information Services (this is the hardest part!)

Next set up Network in Control Panel:
 

At the end of setup, the screen should look like this.  Remove any extra services or protocols you may have installed.  Also, the ethernet adapter will match that of your system, not necessarily the one shown here.  You will have to add File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks, which is done by clicking Add, then selecting Service, then Microsoft:

Only item that requires  setup is Identification and TCP/IP

so click on Identification at the top:
enter computer name and Workgroup.  Don't leave any spaces in these two parameters as it will cause problems.  Computer description is your choice.

Go back to configuration and click on TCP/IP and then click on properties.

enter your own IP address

click on DNS configuration:
enter your own Host name - otherwise the same

click on Gateway:
enter 128.122.3.1
