Nick,
 
You can give this a try.  It has worked for me to solve this problem in some
cases.

MS KB 230545
 
Apparently there is an issue with SMB Signing being required by some
Win2K/2K3 servers and Windows 98 does not enable SMB signing by default.
For Win 95 or NT clients prior to SP3 you can install the AD Client which is
included on the Win2K Server CD.  (There is a location where you can
disabled SMB Signing via group policy on your server but you are lowering
the overall security by doing that.)
 
If the above fix does not work....
Another article indicates that you may need a patch.  You will need to call
Microsoft to get the patch and therefore may be charged for it.

(Yes I do use WINS in environments that contain Win9x or NT clients)
 
 
Let me know if this works
Thank you,

I am having trouble with my WINS. I have a 2000 environment and all my users
except for 2 run XP. The other 2 runs 98.
 The trouble I'm having is I don't see the users in network places anymore
and the 2 users that run 98 can't login or connect to the server. Nothing
was added except the latest windows updates. Any ideas other than wiping
WINS and maybe starting over.
 
BTW- does everyone here use WINS?
