WIn 98 and Directory Services Client in 2K Domain !!Reward!!

OK, be the first to get this one and I'll buy you something up to $25 on E-bay.

Scenario
2K Domain with LANMAN hash store turned off for security.
See this article

Users on XP connect fine. Same users connect fine on Windows 98 SE w/ DS
client until password is changed. This changes the password to a non LM
Stored hash as per previous article. Then the fun begins: XP machines OK,
Win 98 NOT OK.

MS says that Win9X machines with DS Client should connect even though
password is not in LM Hash. This however is not the case in my environment.
WHY???

There is connectivity to the DC, I get the error:
"The domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to your logon
server has been denied"

And as I said pre password change into non LANMAN hash works still.
Additionally, I have even set the Win98 client to use NTLM v2 authentication
only so that it is not looking to use LANMAN as in this article:
