Networking a Windows 98 computer

[Janice]

We are trying to network a Windows 98 computer to a
Windows 2000 Advanced Server computer. When we log into
the 98 computer we get a message that says "no domain
service was available to validate your password." When we
check My Network Places we cannot see the other computers
in the network.

Can anyone give us some advice on what settings we should
be look at?

Thanks.

Hi Janice. Are you using DHCP by any chance?

For starters, make sure that the Primary DNS setting is pointing to the DNS
on your Server and make sure that the domain name is entered correctly under
identification in Control Panel|System.

I hope this helps,

1. You shouldn't need it to log on to the domain.
2. It seems that only the NT version is on the Microsoft site.
