PWA 2003 from Win 98 Machine

[Jeremy]

I've not been able to connect to the PWA page. The server os and project
server is 2003. The client machine is 98, the user cannot even access the
server via network neighborhood either, it shows up but is unaccessible.
However, when I have the same user log in to a terminal server session he's
able to do so. Any suggestions?

Use terminal services because Win98 is not compatible

Are you kidding me? I have other users running windows 98 and they can
access the project web access site on the Windows 2003 project server.

Are you kidding me? You still have Win98 machines in an office sophisticated
enough to run Project Server? Well maybe you're getting lucky on the
machines that are working, but the system requirements are very well stated.

Ok that's where I've mislead you. I'm not trying to run MS office
professional (fat client) from the 98 machine I'm just trying to access the
"http://servername/projectserver" address from internet explorer on that
machine.

Jeremy:

AFAIK, the minimum supported requirements for PWA 2003 functionality to work
correctly is: Windows 2000 pro with SP3 installed. You also should have the
latest version of MDAC and, I suggest, IE version 6.
