Any information on networking these computer particularly Win98 with Win2000server

There are no big issues between 98 and 2000 server. Are you running DNS as part of your Active Directory or using WINS or both??? Make sure either or both are properly configured. Then configure your Network properties on the 98 workstations. IF using DNS DHCP from the server would be a good idea but, since the domain is small fixed IP will work just as well.

Thanks CT, Set up was DNS DHCP however tech changed to WINs.
I am currently deciding which would serve my needs better and will rebuild my network the way I want it soon.
We are using static IPs for the workstations and printers.
