Windows

I think your question got cut off, but you were sort of going in the right direction. Your problem is that your Win98 computer is following the "standard" Microsoft name resolution scheme, which is DNS first, and probably timing out before it can find your local PDC. I would remove NetBEUI completely from your network; you don't need it if you're using TCP/IP. You don't need DHCP since you are using static IPs, but what you need locally is either WINS or a HOSTS file on each workstation. Setup WINS on your server and this should take care of the problems. If your DNS server is local, you can set DNS to use WINS for NetBIOS name resolution so that local name resolution uses WINS and Internet name resolution goes to DNS. If the DNS server is at your ISP, you don't need to worry about this. Hope this helps!

I concur with previous answer. I have also had some similiar issues with leaving the domain name blank on the DNS tab. I am assuming that the DNS server listed is in your local domain.
