Travis, i don't know how big your knowledge is, but you really created a
problem with this one.

In your post you spoke about Win9x machines, not about WinME machines (you
know that ME cannot be used in a domain environment? adclient or not.)
If all your machines are WinME, then no adclient or WINS will help you,
cause you have to wrong OS for a network domain. You should use win98se or
higher (expect WinME and WinXP Home edition).

One positive thing, probably your SBS box is ok, but the OS on the client
absolutly isn't. Hopefully it's on just one box and all others are ok.
