win98 & win2k networking

[RichA]

I have recently added an win2k computer to our network.
The network is a peer to peer network with mainly win98
computers and one NT computer. We have been using the NT
computer as a data server and started to offload some of
the data from the NT to the Win2k machine (running out of
disk space on the NT).

We are having problems accessing the data on the new win2k
machine. The problems are intermitent. Basically when
accessing some data, mainly larger files the win98
computers will hang. If the computer is rebooted the
problem goes away for awhile but then comes back. We have
no problems when we try to access data on the NT box.

I have not been able to get any info on this problem from
Microsoft. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
