Domain Controller problems

Hi everyone,
I am running Ctrix Metaframe XP with Win2000 server. Everything works fine, except for one user. When this user logs in to the server, they get a Windows NT/2000 security message stating, "A domain controller could not be found for the specified domain." I know that the problem must reside in this person's computer, but I am not entirely sure on where to look. This person has Windows 98 on their machine. Any help or recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
The first thing I guess that needs to be known...is can this user log onto the metaframe server from another client? If s/he can then I would ask if you can ping the server from the users 98 box (using whatever method you are trying to make the connection with - IP address or DNS name). Just a litle food for thought....
 
The user is actually connecting via a modem. They tell me they can actually connect to the server, but after they enter their username and password, the security message pops up.
