Try LinNeigborhood - it's a really simple app that should let you see the Win98 machine and share drives from yours. It's already on the Mandrake CDs.

Just tried that and have now mounted one of our computers - still two to go that I cannot see but they may need to be restarted - windows likes to make people do that.

I have got it working apart form that the windows computers can't see me (he he) and one of their firewalls always blocks me.
