Windows 98 & ME logon problems

I have Windows 2003 Server setup as a domain controller
with DHCP, DNS and WINS Server. The XP PRO machines have
no problems logging on. The windows 98 & ME machines
have problems. The error message is that domain
controller could not be found to verify username/password
and network resources may not be avaible. You have an
option of pressing OK or Cancel button. Pressing the OK
button loads up windows 98/ME and lets you access the
server and printers. Is there a fix for this problem?
What is wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Set up DNS to lookup to WINS.

That should fix it. But it really should work as it is if the clients
have the correct WINS address. W9x/Me machines use the special Netbios name
"Domainname 1C" to find the logon server. If they have the correct domain
name and the correct WINS address, a name server request for "domainname 1C"
should return the IP address of the DC.

Works fine for me with W98, even across routers.
