Nick,

I will try this tomorrow and let you know.

I do remember that when I click on "network" I see the server and all 
the connected PC's (Win98)  I can connted to the PC's.  When I click 
connect to the server it throws me right into the Apple share.  If I 
choose GO connect to server it denys my user name and password.  Of 
course this is from memory.  I'll give you more detail when I am 
connect to the Domain.

Thank you

Kathy
