I ultimately had to change the authentication settings on the Samba server to get reliable connectivity. Turns out that Win98 in VirtualBox isn't an amazing option for me anyway, though, because 3D acceleration is not supported. It may be useful for non-3D games, but it looks like I'd have to set up a Win2K VM for 3D ones and hope that they work better than they do in Win 7. No, I don't have any specific games in mind at this time. It was just an experiment because I had the pieces laying around

Does anyone know why the mouse scroll wheel is not working for me? I tried installing IntelliPoint 4.12 drivers from Microsft and it didn't help. Creating a USB filter works, but then I can't use my mouse outside of VirtualBox. Changing to PS/2 mouse causes VirtualBox to abort the VM during boot. Also, I was able to temporarily access Samba shares on my Linux box by following these instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/239869 I also installed DSClient. I say temporary because it stopped working after a reboot for some reason Looks like maybe DSClient broke it, as uninstalling seems to have it working again. Edit: Disabling mouse integration seems to make the scroll wheel work. The downside is that you then have to use Right Ctrl + C or + I to break the mouse free from VirtualBox.
