What name resolution does SBS2K use? How should Win98
clients be configured for resolve names correctly?

I have just experienced the following at a client with a
mix of win98, 2K and XP clients on a sbs2k network:
The Win98 clients have "suddenly" developed a name
resolution issue. This is seen in Outlook prompting to be
logged and Internet access failures. Not even internal
names would resolve on any of the Win98 clients.
Eventually I configured HOSTS and LMHOSTS files on the
Win98 clients to get them to work correctly and resolve
names. These clients were initially all manually
configured and not done with client setup disks a long
while back. Everything was set as dynamic.

What I did was a work around but I do not believe it
should be how things are done. About 6x pc's needed this
method of configuring. In a larger network this could be
very time consuming.
Surely all should be done automatically.

Please assist with this query.

Thnx
