Win98 Clients - Access Denied / Invalid Path

I just installed a Windows 2003 server. All Windows XP clients connect and
work fine however I have 4 Windows 98 clients that can login ok and map to
shares but when they attempt to open a Word Document from a shared drive they
get the following:

The document name or path is not valid.

Also when trying to open other files they get access denied. I have
installed the dsclient. Any guidence would be appreciated.

It may be a problem with forced SMB signing or other security settings in
the Local Security Policy of the server. You can disable it by using
secpol.msc to open Local Security Policy and go to security settings/local
policies/security options. Find the option for Microsoft network
server:digitally sign communications(always) and set it to disabled. There
may be other security options that need to be tweaked, particularly for the
ones that involve anonymous access and lan manager authentication level
especially if you have changed any of them directly from default or applied
a security template. --- Steve
