adding xp pro client to sbs2000

I'm having problems getting our XP Pro clients to connect to SBS2000 in the
same way that our 98/ME/2000 clients do. I couldn't get the 'magic disk' to
work on the XP machine so I setup the XP machine's network settings
manually. I've added the XP machine to the SBS2000 server and the XP machine
can connect, share resources, etc. but the XP machine doesn't use the login
script that forces software installation, mapped drives, etc. How do I add
the login script to the XP machine?

Does the ipconfig/all from the clients show that everything is pointing to
the server-IP? How manyh nics in the server?
Can you run the loginscript manually?

I figured it out - something was wrong with the user accounts on the local
computer - they were conflicting with the user account for the server -
still not sure what was wrong but it's fixed now. Thanks!
