This is to the guy who suggested you delete that Registry Key.
(And to anyone else who's interested.)
I've been wrestling with this 98/2kPro issue on and on for months.
Although the Registry Key suggestion might be the ticket; if you search enough of these blogs and the half baked suggestions you find here, you need to put a little more info to convince us you know what you're talking about.
Supposedly there's a deeper solution to this which explains why one 2k machine might show up fine, where another one will give you trubb accessing twixt a 98 machine.
It involves user accounts or passwords and old user account leaving stuff behind on the Win2k machine, which requires that you go into that machine and run some poorly documented diagnostics thing on the 2k machine to clear out that old info so you can create the same username again. Otherwise you will find the machine won't accept that new name. And as far as I know so far there is no easy way to find out what the heck username is causing the problem.
I also cannot find out if that reset utility -- Netdom.exe -- a DOS based thing -- will or won't reset the whole damned machine.
I have not deleted the registry key mentioned above without knowing who the hell is suggesting that. A lot of knuckelhead wannabe IT gurus on these blogs will only make matters worse for you. So be careful and make sure they can type more than a sentence or ask a few dumb questions.
Just kinda funny none of these dufusses mentioned a thing about this reset business.
Take care. No. I mean really. Be cautious.
Deleting a registry entry could be fatal for all this dude could take the time to expand upon (tell us more).
