Users have to reboot before log on

What protocols are you runnning? just IP or netbeui as well? are you set up as a domain or workgroup?

I know that w2k uses dns for local name resolution.

so the w98 clients may not be "seeing" the server right away.

try making a host file for the w98 pc's with the server name and IP or activate wins on one of your w2k servers and config the clients to use it.

If the users want to leave their computers turned on over night I would recommend that they restart their computer at the end of the day instead of logging off. The user does not need to stick around and wait for the comupter to come up before going home and in the morning the login screen is up and waiting for them.

sounds like the network card is set to power down to save energy, go in to the network properties and disable this featuer or even if it is wake on lan
