Rob,

nbtstat - c returns:

Node IpAddress: [35.10.64.36] Scope Id: []
NetBIOS Remote Cache Name Table
Name Type Host Address Life [sec]
------------------------------------------------------------
MAYTAG <00> UNIQUE 35.8.190.141 60
U6 <20> UNIQUE 35.8.190.150 360
U6 <00> UNIQUE 35.8.190.150 60
LIRWEB <20> UNIQUE 35.8.190.140 360
LIR <00> GROUP 0.0.0.0 360
--------------------------------------------------
Maytag and U6 are both domain controllers, but maybe the bottom line set at
0.0.0.0 for our domain is messing things up?

Oh well, two more computers and we'll be all Win2000.
-jav

PS - it's weird that my domain admin account can still login. Does Win98
handle account lockouts differently than NT? I wonder if someone is trying
to brute force passwords (I hear other sites on campus are having that
problem).
