Are you assigning them WINS/DNS entries when they connect via dhcp?

To share a printer, you need to have an account on the computer that everyone can log in as on their own computer, unless you share it out on a Windows 95/98 machine. Next, once the account is created and that account has permissions to print after you share the printer, make sure that the user...

What is slow about it? Browsing the network, receiving mail, can you be more specific?

You need to right click on the root folder of which your going to copy, choose the security tab, uncheck the box that says inherit permissions from parent and when prompted choose copy. Set your appropriate permissions to that folder. Now right click and copy the folder and it should have the...

Do the users dial into this server or is it set up for VPN access?

Also, you CAN NOT upgrade a Windows 2000 server to a domain controller without installing AD. Now, you...

Can you ping this computer by hostname?

Are you just enabling the server to accept VPN connections or are you actually connecting from the server to another box via VPN? Did you happen to set up the VPN connection as a demand dial interface? Are your clients default gateway your server?

Okay, let me get this straight. Your dialing into an ISP and your attempting to connect to your VPN server next and when you launch the connection you get the error? Let's make sure that your VPN is set up correctly on your Windows 98 computer. First, go to ADD and Remove programs and click on...

Erans is correct. Did you check the box in the security of the GPO to apply group policy to those individuals/groups? Keep in mind that Windows 95/98/NT does not run a login script that is applied by group policy. They only look at the Netlogon share and run the login script that is set for them...
