I am connecting to a NT server 4.0 server via PPTP over the internet. When I connect with a Win98 client, I get authenticated and my log on scripts run. When I connect with my W2K Pro client, I only get authenticated through RAS and I don't get any network access. I am not getting truly authenticated within W2K but I am in Win 98. Please help.
I have already made my computer a part of the domain in W2K. I can ping and see computers in the network neighborhood, but no access to files or servers. Please help.

Try installing NetBEUI.

For some reason, TCP/IP isn't enough when dealing with Win2k and WinNT (either as server or client).

You may wan't to try attaching to you domain at boot time. When you first boot your Windows 2000 Pro workstation, you have the chance to Logon using Dial-up Connection. I advise my users to use this method for authentication to a domain when a LAN line is not available.

If you do not see that prompt when you startup you machine, click on the Options button.
