I don't feel that I "know" what your problem is, but I did have one client who experienced "Group Lock Timeout" errors, and when I posted a message, I got very little response back.
It turns out that their problem was a non-standard network card. I had never heard of it. They called it a Fairlon card, and from how they described it, it was like a piggy back network card that took one point-to-point network connection and allowed you to dangle another client off the connection. Once they got rid of it, the error went away.
So I would suggest that your problem has something to do with the peer-to-peer network you've set up and the cards you're using, Win98 (about which I know nothing), or the fact that you have what sounds like a client acting as both a client and a server (I've heard ARev doesn't like that relationship).

In a Win98 environment you must specify one of the stations as a master and the others as slaves. I dont have a 98 at my office, but it is in the Network Neiborhood poperties settings. It is pretty obscure, but it is there.
