Ok!
So there is no way to map a share on a server if the windows 98 client is member of that domain....
I thought I was saying the opposite & I think DOC & Richard are also. Change the network properties to 'logon to an NT domain' then delete the local windows 98 password file. Then reboot using a vaild domain ID & password. Once you input a password locally it never goes away & this is password that Win98 feeds the domain (together with the local logon ID). Then set the domain share using group or user ID level controls - no passwords on the share. Mapping should then work but note that deep share mappings will not work & thus the autogenerated User shares will not connect. You must manually (on the server) define a new share that connects to the user share & manually (on the local machine or in the auto logon script) map to this share.
You can automap map to shares with group or user level controls if the share is \\server\share but you can not map \\server\share\userid so you must create a share called \\server\userid.
Four or five years ago there was a lot of discussion of this issue on the board. It is still in the archives - try searching for topics like 'win98 share', etc. If the result is from years 2000-2002, it might be helpful.
