Well it's funny how it works out in the end. I'm replying to myself because having struggled with this problem for days (since upgading to RH9), I've worked it out.... by chance.
Now tell me I'm not mad but the RH firewall used to be controlled using "ipchains" (either that or I've lost my marbles or I aliased it and totally forgot). When I type "ipchains" in RH9, nowt!!! error!!! command does not exist. So I assumed I hadn't installed the firewall and didn't investigate this avenue further.
But a few minutes ago I'm reading about the iptables command. Huh?! I try it out and I don't believe it.
So I temporarily flush my firewall setings, and voila, I can access my shares from windows 98.
I hope this helps someone else. Now all that's left to do is find out which port to allow in from my desktops.
Cheers
