Problem w/Win 98 client accessing WIn 2003 domain

When I try to log into my work's network with my Win98 machine I get
the error "No domain server was available to validate your password.
You may not be able to gain access to some network resources." I've
done a ton of searching and reading on this problem and have tried
every solution I've found and none have worked.

I have set up the 98 machine as specified in the Microsoft article "How
to enable Windows 98/ME/NT clients to logon to Windows 2003 based
Domains":

- Installed Internet Explorer 6 with Service Pack 1 or higher.
- Installed all updates from Microsoft update site
- Installed latest version of DSCLIENT from Mircrosoft site
- Enabled NTLM 2 Authentication via regedit
- Enabled SMB Signing via regedit
- Configured the workstation to use local WINS server (using DHCP for
WINS)
- Configured the local DNS domain as DNS under TCP/IP properties

However I still get the error. I can access the internet through our
router on the 98 machine, and I can successfully ping the server by
both name and IP address, however I can't access any of the network
drives/folders. Any ideas (aside from disabling SMB on the server)?
