The NTFS and FAT partitions are not relevant when it comes to drive sharing.

I assume you can ping the win98 machine and verified you have a good connection to all 3 machines?

If it's a yes, make sure you have file sharing turned on in the win98 network settings. Then check to make sure you have joined the same workgroup, I don't believe the workgroup name is case sensative but make sure it matches exactly.
