Unable to get 98 machine on the network

I struggled with this with another windows 98 machine last week, but in the
end was able to get it worked out by installing the dsclient9x. This machine
is a different story. When I try to install the dsclient9x it tells me that
the version of the windows installer is too old and to install a service pack.

I compared the properties of this machine to the one I was successfully able
to install on the other machine and they look the same to me from what I can
tell, but I really don't know windows 98 too well.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh the error I get is "the
system could not log you in, DC not available" Which is slightly different
than what I was getting with the other machine "The password you supplied
for the domain is incorrect or the logon server denied you access".

Go to Windows Updates and get the machine up to date. That should fix the
installer version issue. Once you've got the dsclient9x installed, see if
that doesn't fix your logon problems.

How can I get to windows updates if I can't get on the network to get to the
internet?

you will have to download it on another machine that has an internet
connection and "walk it" to the problem machine ...you will need the updated
installer to continue ..

As has been suggested, you will need to download to another computer and
transfer to the target computer.
