> We replaced a 3Com network with a Catalyst 6513 at the core and 4006's in
> the access closets.
>
> The Windows 2000 clients are fine.
>
> The Windows 98 clients log into the Novell network fine, but have trouble
> authenticating to the PDC. After several tries, the user eventually logs
> into the Windows domain and then runs fine.
>
> A Sniffer trace shows that the PDC is receiving the login request from the
> PC, then returns a rejection message. The 4006 user ports have trunking
> and channel off and portfast enabled.
>
> The majority of these hosts are Dell's with 3C905 and 3C920 NIC cards.
>
> Hardcoding the speed and duplex on the host and 4006 port made no
> difference.
> Upgrading the NIC driver and NETBIOS made no difference.
>
> Ever seen anything like this? After searching CCO and Google extensively,
> we're drawing a blank.
