You can not use winNT profiles for win98 machines you will have to setup the profile for the win9x machine.
To connect to the server from the win9x machine you will have to make sure that in the properties of client for microsoft network in the network control panel the 'logon to winnt domain' is checked.
For policy files to work on a win9x machine you will have to install policy editor on a win9x machine (its on the win98 CD-ROM, install the win98 resource kit and follow instructions) and then create a policy named config.pol (not ntconfig.pol) and save it to the netlogon share.
I assume the other workstations are winnt.

to connect a home directory for a win9x mahcine you will have to first set it up in user manager and then use 'net use home /x:' in a logon script
