What you should probably do is configure dns on your 2k server. On all workstations make the server the primary dns. Don't bother putting in a secondary unless your want to. It won't be necessary as long as your server is running fine.
Configure your dns to "allow dynamic updates", and set the dns "forewarders" to point at the public (internet) dns servers. On the server open command prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns". After that completes run "ipconfig /registerdns". Run these same 2 commands on the Xp workstation and you should be fine. These commmands wont run on the 98 machines.
