[help]____Win98 & Win2k NetWorking____[/help]

[Plantanthera]

Please excuse an NetWorking newbie.

I want to network a Win98 puter to a Win2k server Domain, but the puters can'see each other in Network Neigborhood/Places.
Please walk me through the process. Thanks

Curently on the Win2k Server:
Domain name is "domain.com"
DHCP service intalled
TCP/IP enable
Fixed address of 10.100.0.1
scope range of 10.100.0.10 to 10.100.0.15
User account is "user1"


Client Win98:
Domain name is "domain.com"
TCP/IP enable
Obtain IP address automatically

How big is the network you are talking about?? For small home/office LANs without any routers, I would use NetBeui as the protocol for Windows Peer to Peer Networking. Add it as a new Microsoft Protocol. Keep TCP/IP for your browsing/mail/etc services.

Wouldn't it be easier to use the workgroup settings instead of a domain controller and all that?
