In our company we had a PDC and a BDC both running Windows NT Server 4.0. Recently we upgraded the PDC to Windows 2000 with Active Directory. The BDC is still running 4.0. The problem we have is that every now and again some users are getting an error message stating that "the domain password is not correct or the domain controller can not be contacted." The problem seems to be happening with the Windows 98 users and not Windows 2000. This has happened to several users and with the last user we had to upgrade to 2000 because with 98 the system would only login sometimes taking up to 8 or 9 attempts. We tried different network cards, cable, connection and multiple login IDs.

I have a Win2K SBS - single domain environment where after a server restart, it takes 10-20minutes before the Windows 98 workstations can log in.

All services are started, I can browse the network from Network Neighborhood, I can ping the server by IP and name so I appear to have IP communications with name resolution.

I wish I had an answer for you, but this sounds eerily similar. If I do find anything out, I will return to this thread to see if I can help.

I have a windows2000 computer set up with a Novell network. I want to login into this computer from win95/98 computers. I can see the computer with network neighborhood file and printer sharing are set. I set NO password to access the computer, but it always asks for password. The admisinstrator password does not work. Any suggestions.
Thanks
