Hi,
Win 98 machines could not logon to the network. I get error message "No domain server available to validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network resources" Password is not set up on this machines at all. I can logonlocally and ping other machines but I can not logon to the domain and access resources. I can logon to the domain if do winipcfg release and renew, I have to do this most of the time or assign a static IP.
Please help.
Thank you

In Win 98 network in the control panel, use the Domain Server IP address as the DHCP or Wins Server Address (if you have Wins running on the Domain server).

You problem is that Win 98 is not getting a valid IP address from the DHCP server on the network.

If you end up using a Static IP remember to go into the DHCP server on the domain and map out that IP from being used.

If your Client for Microsoft Networks properties is setup to "logon to Windows NT domain" and there is no domain listed or the domain listed is incorrect then this could happen. Make sure that if you are connecting to an NT domain that the domain name listed is spelled correctly and correct. I hope this helps.

No domain server? No logon to the domain and the error message. Click and it goes away and you hve access to your "network". In my case it is a hub and a WIN ME and a WIN 98 machine.
