I'm not sure about Win95/98 clients, but here at home I have a lab with two
Cisco routers and Windows NT on two different subnets, and as long as the
WINS server is configured properly domain logins are seamless. Someone else
posted almost the same question to the MCSE newsgroup a couple days ago, so
I'm beginning to think you're right and that to provide support for Windows
98 clients you might need to enable the router to forward NetBIOS
broadcasts, perhaps 9x's implementation of WINS isn't supported at login.
You could either:
1) Place a Backup Domain Controller on the subnet with the Windows 98
client. The client should then authenticate without any problem.
2) As you said, configure the router to forward NetBIOS broadcasts. This
can be done using the "ip helper" command on the 98 subnet's router
interface.
