Dan, didn't get your suggestions. Hope this doesn't meen 'none'.
As for the domain trusts, I've checked to see if any trusts have been
granted and can find none; assuming I looked in the correct area.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Wayne:

Sorry, I could not remember if nslookup was part of Win95 or not.
Anyway, the domain trust may, possibly, be the issue. However it's
difficult to say without being able to "touch" these systems myself.
To explain, if a client running on domain A wants to talk to a
domain, domain B, the client must be granted trust by domain B's PDC
(primary domain controller ) or BDC ( backup domain controller ).
This is because the client is not a member of domain B. The way I
understand it, the client will perform a lookup, IP resolution, and
then contact to the server directly. The server will check the
credentials of the client against the PDC / BDC for that domain,
domain B, and either allow the connection or reject the connection.
So if the client running in domain A is not trusted its credentials
will be rejected.

Since you are able to ping your server that means that the IP
resolution is okay and you can see the server. The server may
however be rejecting the connection. The only suggestions that I can
make are:
