I have a mixed network environment of Windows NT4 & Windows 2000 Servers(Member Servers). One Windows NT box acts as a PDC. However all my Windows 98 Clients cannot log on.Their log on runs a script that maps drive letters. What could be the problem?
Thank you for your attention.

So they can't log on but they can successfully connect to network shares?

Were they prev able to log on to the network? If so, what has changed that now causes them not to be able to? Do you have other OS clients that can log in?

All the Ip addresses/Subnet masks/Default Gateways have been checked on the W98 workstations?

If they can communicate with the server, do the workstations have an account (is it a domain or a workgroup?) on the PDC?

Do the clients use DHCP, WINS, LMhosts?

Need more info my friend,
regards

Users cannot log on and hence access no shares. We donot know what has changed since then.We have win2k Pro&XP Pro pcs on the network. All IP settings on the pcs are ok.Cross checked this ipconfig/winipcfg. Workstations that have accts with PDC are only XP&Win2k pro. Windows 98 hve no accts. Clients use DHCP&WINS. We have one domain for file & Print (PDC) and a couple of BDCs.
