Hai
I has changed a Domain server with Windows NT to Domain Server with Windows 2000 Server. All the Systems in our Domain were changed to Windows 2000 Server having OS's Windows'98 and Windows XP which have the configuration of P4. But one PC having HP Brio P-III Configuration and having Windows 98 was not configuring. I have changed the Domain Name in "Mircrosoft Clients for Networks" option in Network and restart the PC. When I am giving the Username and Password "No Domain Server was available to validate your Password. You may not able to gain access to some network resourse". The Win2K Server was configured to DHCP.

Hi

On your Win98 machine click Start>Settings>Control Panel>Network. Open the properties for TCP/IP and ensure that DNS is turned on. Make sure the host name is the name of the Win98 PC and enter the name of the domain. Add the IP address of the Windows 2000 Server to the DNS list. Exit and reboot and everything should be fine.

If you still have problems go to the Win2K server and click Start>Small Business Server Administrator Consol and select Computers from the list on the left. A list of computer names will be displayed. Delete the Win98 name that is giving you problems, then, at the top of the list to the right of the computer names is the option to set up a client computer, start this and create a network setup disk for the Win98 machine. Next, take the disk to the Win98 machine and Click Start>Run and type A:\setup.exe then follow the prompts. Reboot, then turn on DNS as explained above.

Good luck
