I have Win9x clients on a 192.168.199.0/ 255.255.255.0 network that need to connect to Win2000 Active Directory on a 192.168.180.0/ 255.255.255.0 network. The backbone is a HP6300 routing swith, and is set to route between the two networks. I havethe AD client installed on the Win9x clients, they are in the DNS on the win2000 AD server. Is there anything else that I can do to have these clients log into the domain?

Thanks

Should work, basically. However if it doesn't yet, better first check basic things:
* PING from client to AD domain server
* NET VIEW from client to AD server
* Network neighbourhood
* and even a NET USE (without logon) for a public share on theAD domain server, like IPC$

Diagnostics from these commands, IF one of them fails, will help greatly in finding the stumbling block.

Hi,

frist check if the DNS-naming resolution is working. Ping the FQN of the W2k DC, if this doesn't works, fix the problem. (TCP/IP Properties)
