I have recently begun to have problems with certain Windows 98 client pc's being able to login to the domain. After putting in a username and password, they get an error stating that there is no domain server. If they leave the pc for a period of time, they usually can get logged on. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

What are the network settings? I've seen this happen from time to time with laptops that are taken from the office to home networks.

I would check DHCP first. As soon as you get the error, click Cancel and open winipcfg immediately to see if received it's DHCP settings. If so, click Cancel and Log Off. Then log on as normal and see if it works.
Also, try static mapping outside of the DHCP scope to rule our this for testing.
