I was getting the same issue with W2K clients, and this was due to DNS
entries remaining in sites which they had been from.... I don't know
whether it relates but may be worth a look under _sites within DNS.

Problem:
I have a large amount of windows 98 workstations that are authenticating
to a remote DC that is in a different Site
With or without the AD client the workstations will authenticate to the
same remote DC.

Environment:
3 Sites
             1 corp.
             2 remote
All FSMO roles are at corp. site including PDC emulator
1 GC at each site

Question:
Why are these 98 workstations going to a remote DC to authenticate when
the PDC emulator is here (local)? They are actually going to a different
site to logon. Normally this may not be a big deal but I need to have
then pull files from there "logon server" as they logon, so if they are
logging on to a server at a different site it will take a long time to
copy the files needed as you could imagine.
