Thanks for the reply DoC but I already found the solution elsewhere. My answer to all of your questions was 'yes' since the LAN was working fine when my computer was on Windows NT. I also made sure all the usernames and passwords were already in the Win2k server.

The problem was that I did not install NETBIOS nor NETBEUI since I did not intend to use them at all (which I found out that I was wrong!). I found out that when you want to LAN together Windows 98/95 computers and Windows 2K computers, all of them should turn on NETBIOS or NETBEUI. I prefer NETBIOS since it seems to perform faster than NETBEUI.

Well, that's it!
