I'm not the last point of help because the list doesn't answer :-).
You probably didn't get an answer because you didn't give enough
info. You would need to get a network trace from a Win98 machine
that can't find the DC - see what it's doing at logon request
time. That's the minimum info needed to debug this. Try posting
that to the list and see what you get.
