All of a sudden, users running Windows 98 cannot logon to Windows 2003
domain, whereas last week (and the previous 8 months!) they could all logon
fine. I don't know of any changes that have been made to the DC but what
could have caused this? I have tried the DSClient and other steps of
troublehooting but no joy. Please help!!

Many thanks in advance for any comments

Hey,

Are you using WINS for name resolution? Have you recently made any
changes to WINS server or IP address? Sounds like the clients can’t
find your DC’s anymore. Even if you have DSClient installed, NetBIOS
is still used for a 1C query to gather a list of DC’s in your domain.

Check WINS and DNS.
