98 clients and win2k server

[Paul Edwards]

I have a win2k AD network.

I have a windows 98 client on 192.168.1.x network and a fileserver on 6.x
network. I have shares on the fileserver on the 192.168.6.x network with
correct permissions set. The 98 client can't map the share. I can ping the
192.168.6.x server via ip and hostname without a problem.

The XP clients on the 192.168.1.x network can map the share fine. Only the
98 clients on the 192.168.1.x network can map the shares on the 192.168.6.x
network.

DNS seems to be working OK and I have WINS running.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Paul Ed

Not a DNS question...

Nonetheless, did you increase security on your DC in your Default Domain GPO
or the Default DC GPO? If so, in the Default DC GPO, select to allow both
NTLM and NTLM v2 authentication levels.

Replied in m.p.win2000.general - if you need to post to multiple groups,
it's best to do so all at once in a single message (separate the NG names
with commas) so that everyone can follow the thread. A lot of people
subscribe to multiple groups, and this way you won't be asking anyone to
reproduce someone else's work, and everyone can benefit.

Crossposting = posting once to several newsgroups within a single message.
This is not a Bad Thing (presuming the list of groups posted to is small,
and all the groups are truly relevant to your question)

Multiposting = posting separate, identical posts to several newsgroups. This
is a Bad Thing.

Strange, but true...
I bet the share name is greater than 8 characters. Some
9x clients have trouble connecting. Create an additional
share with the name truncated to 8 characters.
