W98 - Joining Domain

[leobis]

Hi all,

I would like to have my laptop (windows 98) jointo my domain (windows 2000 Advanced Server), but since I have not been using W98 for ages I would like to know how to do that ... if possible step by step instructions.

Thanks in advance.

Go into your tcp/ip settings and under the windows networking, have it log onto a domain. User gets the authentication, not the machine. Glen A. Johnson
