<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a few Windows 98 and 2K client PC's that work with propertiery machinery that won't work with newer version OS's. &nbsp;We recently upgraded our server from Win 2k to 2008 and now the mapped drives are not working. &nbsp;We are getting prompted to enter the user password but then getting the error, &quot;Network Request Not Supported.&quot; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Has anyone seen this? &nbsp;Does server 2008 work at all with 98 or Windows 2000 clients? &nbsp;Thank you.
