Windows 98 machines don't join a domain - they are just able to browse it. You only have a choice to change the workgroup name on a Win98 machine - you make the workgroup name the same as the domain name and they can browse the network resources and map drives to them. They are like XP Home edition which can just join workgroups and not domains.
