Windows allows all outgoing ports by default, meaning it won't try to block them natively. You would have to have a program (zone alarm, etc) to do that. Why not just get a router and set both of the computers to go through it? It would be easier and would not require that the Windows 98 machine be on 100% of the time for the connection sharing to work.
