I used to administer about 200 Windows 98 PCs. I feel fairly confident that, unless Win98SE has changed since the last time I dorked with it, IP works and SMB doesn't when failing to ``log in'', as all of my users that were in that situation could play with their web browsers all day (and some did ), but couldn't access the machine right next to them. But feel free to play with anything that you think might help.
