I have setup Trust Relationship between two NT domain. I have no problem accessing Domain 2 from Domain 1. I can access Domain 1 from Domain 2 only using servers ( PDC, BDC ). I cannot access Domain 1 using win 98 machines. Even I logon to Domain 2as Domain Admin. I have checked the rights and folder permissions, they're the same on both domains. Everyone is allowed to access the other domain. Why I can't use 98 boxes. ( They're all connected to the network and works )
The message I get on the 98 box is " The computer
Path is not found ". Any idea ? Thanks.

I don't know if this will help any...but if you are simply trying to share files and printers between the two domains I would suggest setting up a DFS root on the domain controller using active directory. By doing this your windows 98 computers will only have to connect to the DFS root in order to access the resources on the other domain. Windows 98 unfourtunatley is not the best network client. Another possibility is that the windows 98 clients are not logging in with an account which has efficent rights on both domains. Remeber that windows 98 does not support logging in to the network the same way that windows 2000 does. Make sure that you have a pre-windows2000 username set up for each user account that will be used on the windows98 machines.
