SYMPTOMS

When you log on to a Windows NT domain from a Windows 95 or Windows for Workgroups client, and the domain name listed is invalid, the error "Invalid Parameter" or "Incorrect Parameter" may appear.

CAUSE

An invalid name listed in the Domain field, such as "domain\server," may cause the "Incorrect Parameter" error.

Misspelled domain names may cause the "Invalid Parameter" error, rather than causing an error stating that no domain controller could be found.

RESOLUTION

Make sure the domain name is correct.
