Contrary to what everyone keeps saying, you do not have to be running
samba in order to "network" your Win98 box to your Linux box -- assuming
your intention is to use the Linux box as a router as you stated. Samba
is commonly used to share files (between Linux and Windows) using the
Window's server message block (smb) application-level protocol.
I am thinking your desire is to use your Linux box as a gateway for your
Win98 box -- a gateway to the internet specifically. If this is the
case, I would recommend checking out the following link:

Unfortunately, you're going to have to get your hands dirty with command
line in order to get this working.
