Neither of the registry settings you mentioned have been
added to the Domain Controller and the second one hasn't
been added to any of the XP machines.

I got the help of an external IT support person today who
I had asked to have a look at this thread. He has managed
to get the 3 XP machines working and prevent the error
message on logon to the Win98 PCs. I hope I have this
correct but after seeing that we were getting error
messages in the system log for the DCHP Server he had me
key in the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address
in the TCP/IP settings for each computer as they were
previously obtaining these automatically (or rather the XP
machines were failing to).

The plan now is to leave things alone until the weekend as
the network is working OK. On Friday night I'll try
rebooting the server to see if this fixes anything or
causes any other problems. If the Active Directory and
user settings are still inaccessible our new IT support
guy will, as I understand it, change the server to operate
at a workgroup level rather than having a Domain
Controller and using Active Directory. He thinks we don't
really need the complexity we currently have given that we
only have 9 workstations and a single server. He did look
at the following link and wondered whether it might be a
way of resolving the problem with Active Directory but
left it to me to follow it up with you or research it
myself.

Does this link seem like an answer to you or do you have
any advice before we take the Workgroup option?

Thanks for your help.
