Win 98 network share access problem

Hello

I just migrated over to a new Windows 2003 Active Directory Domain. I have
a client in another building (17 miles away) they connect to us through a
site-to-site vpn done with our firewalls (so it should be invisible to the
windows servers) we are using 192.168.200.x addresses he is using
192.168.201.x address (not sure if it matters but wanted to let you know)...
I have installed A/D client... So my problem is he can't browse shares on
any of our 2003 servers execpt one (which happens to be the one with the PDC
emulator)... One post said enable browse master so I did and it helped a
little, he was at least able to see the network. But everytime he clicks to
open the computer he gets "name not found on network"... WINS is set and
working properly, DNS is set and working properly... Quite frankly I'm lost
the only thing I have not done is set the SMB signing done a level... Hope I
don't have to... Please help...

Joe,

Can you ping the server resource by short name and does it resolve to the correct IP Address? Can you Net Use to the resource or Net View? The real
test is connectivity; can you go the Start --> Run \\Server\Share and access that resource directly? How about if you use \\IP Address\Share?

You are running the latest DS client for windows 98, i would expect this to work then the issue becomes a possible domain browsing issue.

Let make sure that we have TCP connectivity and that the client can access the resource directly using "net use".

another side note. make sure your shared directory names
on the shares are less then 12 charactors long or win98
and older machines will see the server but not the
directories.
