Changing Domain Password Causes Error 7210 (130280)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11

This article was previously published under Q130280

SYMPTOMS

When you change your Domain password in the Control Panel Network tool, you may receive the following error message:

Network Driver Error 7210

Although you receive no confirmation, your Domain password is changed successfully.

CAUSE

This error can occur if no password list (<username>.PWL) file exists and there is not an entry in the [Password Lists] section in the SYSTEM.INI file for the user who is logged in. Windows for Workgroups changes the Domain password, but generates the error message stated above when it tries to update the .PWL file.

RESOLUTION

To create a .PWL file, quit Windows for Workgroups and then restart it. When you are notified that there is no .PWL file, choose Yes to create a new one.

MORE INFORMATION

If you do have a .PWL file but it is missing or damaged, you receive the following error message:

The specified file could not be updated

Try increasing the values specified in the FILES= entry in the CONFIG.SYS file and then restart your computer. When you log on to Windows for Workgroups, a new password list will be created.
