Win98 can't logon to Win2K Domain

[Mike K.]

Error: Network Password is incorrect or access to the
Domain Server is denied.

Environment: 6 Win98SE PCs, 3 Win2K Servers (YES, 3
servers for 6 PCs!, I'm taking over this client from
someone else!), Cable Modem connected to Server3 via
USB.

I attempted to connect a D-Link Broadband router to the
Cable Modem (to provide NAT security) but had to back
out. To make a long story short - The Server3 IP and G/W
were modified for the new change, and then reverted back
to their original addresses.

Ever since, Win98 can't login to the network/domain.

THE PASSWORDS ARE FINE. The problem is more of a
Browsing/NETlogon/WINS issue.

All of the Win2K Servers can browse the entire network,
including Internet.

The Win98 PCs (after pressing cancel at the logon screen)
obtain a DHCP address from Server3, can see and connect to
the other 2 servers, can browse the Internet, but just
can't browse Server3.

WINS database shows the _MSBROWSE_ (Browse Master) as
Server3, but with the Public IP from the USB connected
Cable Modem (67.x.x.x), NOT the Private IP from the
internal network (192.x.x.x). I think this is my real
issue.

Tomorrow I am going to investigate:
1. Changing binding order of NICs on Server3 - so the
Private network card is initiated first, to bind to WINS
2. Try Modifying LMHOSTS on Win98 with #DOM and domain
controller assignments
3. Try manually assigning IP information on Win98 PCs

Does this sound like the right direction to investigate?

Thank you for any helpful information! -Mike

Are you using RRAS on the multihomed server? In that case make sure you've
done the regedits in 292822.
Check the bindingorder and make sure the internal nic is on top.
On the external nic only TCP/IP should be bound.
You do have options 003, 006, 015, 044 and 046 (0x8) in DHCP-server, Scope
options, right?
