One other question -- perhaps a Windows problem?

  Yes.  We see this on SCO boxen with VisionFS as well.  You need to either
get the Samba box to support CHAP, or
enable plain text passwords on the 9x.

According to

1. Start Regedit.exe.

2. Locate the following key in the registry:

3. HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesVxDVNETSUP

4. Change the data value for the EnablePlainTextPassword value to 1.

5. Restart your computer.

I don't remember off the top of my head whether EnablePlainTextPassword is a
binary or hex value - I can look this up when I'm at work tomorrow and have
the definitive answer, because I have it there.  Once you've done this on
one machine, export the key as a .reg file, clean out the remaining junk in
the file, and you can easily import it into the rest.
