I hate to admit it, but I think I know the answer to this one.  Just
open up the "Network Neighborhood" on the '98 desktop, and browse to the
folder that you want as your E: drive and right click on it.  "Map
Network Drive" should be a little more than 1/2 way down the list. 
Select the drive letter and the check box for reconnecting at login.

Good Luck,
