Shippert Library/Media Specialist You need Dial-Up Networking, Client for Microsoft Networks, and set to log into NT domain -- all standard with Win98. On the NT 4.0 Server CD, there's a folder called "Clients" which includes versions of DHCP Manager, WINS Manager, User Manager for Domains, Server Manager, and a couple of other tools that can be used to administer an NT server remotely.
