Give more details. What do you mean by clients don't work? They can't join the network? From where the users get their IP addresses? Do you have a DHCP server configured? Because it is a W98 environment, the computers use NetBIOS - so it's a very good ideea to create also a WINS server. You don't say anything about AD, DNS. I suppose all is ok with them. Tell me more and I'll help you.

Set 192.168.0/ .1\24 for your W2K server
Disable DHCP on your router/switch
Enable ICS on W2K server
Enable ? obtain an IP address automatically on all clients (Win98)

Your W2K server will work as DHCP server and assign addresses to all clients
