    I recently added two W2K3 Domain Controllers to my NT4 domain, thus I
    am running in Mixed Mode with the 2 W2K3 DC's and 3 NT4 BDC's. I have
    several Windows 98SE clients that have shared printers. After the
    upgrade when users are trying to print to the shared W98 printers they
    are getting a request for an IPC$ password. I can disable and enable
    the sharing and users can sometimes print for up to three hours and
    then they are prompted for the password again.

    All clients are required to login to the domain, and they can access
    all of their mapped drives with no problems. Network browsing is
    sporadic.

    I have installed the W98 AD Client on both the system sharing the
    printer and the pc trying to connect to the printer.

    >From the W2K3 DC's I cannot connect the the shared printer, getting
    the IPC$ password prompt as well.

    WINS is setup & running on a third non-DC W2K3 server and the W98 PC's
    are showing up in the Active Registrations.

    I have now spent over 20 hours trying to figure this problem out, can
    anyone help?
