After installing the latest round of updates to our Windows 2000 servers,
when our remaining handful of Windows 98 clients attempt to login, they get
an error message -

Just hitting enter, and they then appear to login. But, the login script
hangs when mapping drives. If I let the PC boot and then run the script
manually, it works fine.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks.

John

(I'd like to get rid of these last remaining Win98 boxes, but we have a
custom database app that will not run on a 32-bit windows platform -
nt/2k/xp due to a problem in the 16-bit odbc library)

Not quite the same, but perhaps related. After installing SP4, my Win98
machines don't see the network at all after the update, but the Win2k
machines can access the Win98 machines just fine. Go figure!

Same situation here!
