WINDOWS98SE can not log on to WINDOWS 2000 DOMAIN CONTROLLER
My server is a Windows 2000 Advance Service SP2, configured as Domain Controller.
Prior to this, everything was fine. Windows 2000 Professional was the OS of my workstations.
Then a new PC came with a Windows98SE OS. I thought it was going to be easy adding it to the network but I spent some time on it and I was not able to log on in our domain.

When the Win98 prompts for the Log on dialog box (username, password and the Domain). I typed the appropiate username and its corresponding password but failed. I used the administrator account and still failure. Do you have any idea resolving this problem?

YOur advice to this matter is highly appreciated.

What error messages are you getting?

You didn't mention any troubleshooting steps you followed, so I will start from scratch.

Make sure that the Win98 computer has the TCP/IP protocol loaded. If it is, make sure the correct DNS information isconfigured (especially the Primary DNS server. Remove NetBEUI if it is installed. Make sure you can ping the Win2K DC from the Win98 computer.

In a Win2K network, Win98 (and for that matter, NT4) clients will work better if there is a WINS server for them to access.

Hope this helps.

Make sure the w98 computer is configured to log on to NT domain. You do this from the properties of the "client for microsoft network" protocol when you rightclick my network places or access network from the control panel
