Win 2000 Pro & Win 2000 Server Help!!!

I'll explain what I've got and then the problem. I've got a Server running Windows 2000 Server and 15 clients all running Win 98SE, which are all working great. I got a new computer and it is running Windows 2000 Pro. I am able to ping the server from the Win 2K Pro machine and able to connect to the internet through the server, but here's the problem: I cannot map a network drive on the 2K Pro machine. When I try, I get this error message:

"The request to map the network drive could be completed because: No logon servers are currently available to process the logon request"

I've been banging my head on this for a couple of days, and any help would be greatly appreciated.


 
What sort of a set-up is it? A Domain or a workgroup?
Just becuase you have TCP/IP connectivity to the server (ie. you can ping it's IP and surf the net through it) it doesn't mean you have your network completely configured.
It sounds to me like the 2k client is looking for a Server (DC possibly) to authenticate the account you are trying to map a drive with, and it cannot find one. That would be becuase it is looking for the server's name, not it's IP address. You will have to consider setting up WINS or DNS if you want things to run smoothly.
