I am trying to map a server on a win 98 box throught VPN. From my understanding the server name is to long for win 98 (more than 13 char). Is there a way to map this drive without changing the server name?

You could try using the IP address.

i.e. NET USE S: \\192.168.0.41\sharename

Use the hosts or lmhost file. Look in the
windows directory for a hosts.sam and
lmhost.sam.
