I have a quite similar environment here and it works fine.

If you didn't change the OS/2 configuration, there should something be
wrong with the setup of your fedora boxes.
As a basic task you should verify that you can ping each fedora box (and
the OS/2 server). You may check:
- can you make a ping on each fedora box to its own address (that is
checking the basic tcp/ip setup)
- check the file /var/log/messages (use the program less) for any error
or warning messages regarding the ethernet cards or the network in
general

In principle you must activate ipgate on on the OS/2 box
(/mptn/bin/setup.cmd) but you should have done that before, otherwise
your Win98 / OS/2 client configuration should not have been worked. The
OS/2 box must be the default gateway for your Fedora boxes and you are
done with internet access. To access files and printers on the OS/2 box
you must activate tcpbeui (netbios over tcp) on the OS/2 box which is a
little bit tricky if you haven't done it before (you didn't need it for
OS/2 or Win98 clients). On the Fedora boxes you must install and
configure samba client.
Good luck
