Access denied

Hello-
Not sure if this is an AD issue or not, but I'm trying to connect to a
shared printer on a Win98 computer from Win2K Pro
(both in the same Win2K network). When I try to connect to it as the domain
administrator or any other domain user I get the following error message:
"Could not connect to the printer. Access is denied."
I can successfully ping the Win98 computer by host name, but doing a Net
View displays "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied." Browsing to
the Win98 computer through My Network Places displays "\\computername is not
accessible. The account is not authorized to log in from this station."

If I boot into WinXP from the same computer, I can connect to the printer
without a problem, no matter who I'm logged in as. I can also connect to the
printer from another Win98 computer.

If I try to connect to the same printer from the Win2K server (Domain
Controller), I also get a "Could not connect to the printer" error message.
I also get the same error as above when issuing the Net View command from
the DC.

I'm using AD. Can anyone offer any insight as to why I can't connect? Thanks
in advance for your thoughts/expertise.
Matt
