WFW Cannot Log On To a Windows NT Domain across SMC Token Ring Switch (149818)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q149818 SYMPTOMS
Client computers running Microsoft Windows For Workgroups (WFW) and NWLINK
on the IPXODI Support Driver (Token Ring) and that are connecting to a
Windows NT domain controller across an SMC Elite Switch ES/1, will not be
authenticated by the domain. Instead, the following error message is
displayed:
No domain server was available to validate your password. You were
logged on without password validation.
CAUSE
The Token Ring switch changes the content of the Netlogon request packets
that the computer running WFW sends to the domain controller. As a result,
the domain controller does not recognize the Netlogon request and does not
respond to it.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use the NDIS driver for your Token
Ring card instead of the IPXODI Support Driver (Token Ring).
