Not quite. I need to have a Win98se, and 2 RH Linux 6.2 machines that need 
to be connected to an existing subnet (205.211.53.*)
The only thing I want is for the Win98se machine to be able to login to the 
NT domain, have the login batch file on the NT server execute for notices 
and virus scans (these first two are working now), and be visible on the 
Network Neigbohood for everyone else along with the shared printer on the 
Win98se box and the shared drive/dirs on the win98se box...

That's what I thought, so I even included the IP of the WINS server for 
SAMBA...
But, nope, I don't show up on the network ...
