:tongue2: Hey I am just trying to help...and have some fun doing it...
Ok so to follow you....your on your NT box and you are trying to access a network share on the 98 box and it is not allowing ...due to your accoun being locked...(personally I think this is the clearest

if its right!!)
check you policies on lockout and see if they are set to low...1 or 2 times...check you security logs and see if there is a service running that is trying to use the wrong account and is being locked out...check to see if you guest account ...enableing or disableing helps...check to see if your network connections are good...
and I would have a W.A in my signature is I wasnt one...Good luck
