XP Pro fails to run login scripts

We're moving up in the world and are migrating from win9x workstations to XP Pro. Althought I've heard the thing to do first is our server, we can't do that until later this year for various reason.
I'm having trouble getting my XP Pro client to run my NT4 login script when I log onto my domain. I can see and access all network devices properly but the scripts won't run. My scripts are what map our network drives.
What laguage did you use? Do you have that laguage interpreter installed on the clients? Somewhere I was reading the older NT script laguages use a different syntactic than XP.

I know that the ME's and 9x use netbios first for name resolution and the XP uses DNS first. Supposedly that's my issue but I can't see what needs to be changed. There is a tweak in the network config settings of the XP client that I need to do and that will take care of me but I can't see what that is. I've got my DNS and WINS setup correctly.
