Netstat shows only TCP/IP connections. As you said later you use Netbui on
Win98 netwworking.

Can you see other computers with net view \\COMPUERNAME or can you
find them with search. If yes then problens are propably with browse master.
List of computers in LAN are kept in one , in your network it should be win2k.
sometimes this not works. Recommend switch off browse master in Win98.
Control Panel -> networking -> File and Printer sharing -> Properties ->
Browse Masterand set value to disabled.
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q134304
it is for windows 95 but its same for Win98.
Also check Sambaconfiguration on Linux. In smb.conf file in [global] section
local master = no
