W3K Domain over Win98 Client not workink

I have integrated 4 servers W3K on a 21Windows 98
Workgroup environment in to a client's site.

On the server side:
-The 4 Servers are set on to their own W3K domain (One
DC).
-DNS is enable and DNS resolution is OK
-Wins is Enable
-DHCP not Enable
-Browsing services are working perfect among the 4 W3K

On the Win 98 side:
-Win 98 Machines are still on their workgroup
-All win 98 are IP hard coded with a Class C address
-All are on the same network
-All have same Gateway
-All have same Subnet mask

W3K servers use the same IP schema as Win98 stations

Internal ip Network 192.9.200.X
Net Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.9.200.250

All machines are connected to the same cascaded switches

The Problem:
I am on the step to integrate the Win98 Machines on the
domain
When joining the domain, 13 Win98 machines on 20 can not
find the domain, (Error Massage) they can't even ping the
domain controller.

The other 8 Win98 can ping the DC without problems and
join the domain.

All 20 Win98 machines & Servers have Same IP schema
All 20 Win98 Severs machines can ping the default gateway.
All 20 Win98 & Servers machines can go the internet

Any ideas why they can not ping the server while being in
the same network?
Anny issues with win 98 1st or 2nd edition?

Ps: It looks like an MCSE question 

Win9x machines cannot join an Active Directory domain. However, domain
users can log onto the domain from a Win9x machine. Try:

1. Join the Win9x machines to a workgroup that has the same NetBIOS name as
the domain.

2. Install the dsclient on the Win9x machines.

3. Configure the Win9x machines to log onto an NT domain with NetBIOS name
of the domain.

4. Disable or configure SMB signing - see:
