The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q174464

SYMPTOMS

When you dial into a Windows NT 4.0 Remote Access Service (RAS) server using a Windows 95 RAS client with the TCP/IP protocol, you are unable to ping any hosts on the remote network, including the RAS server's IP addresses, and you may receive the following error message:
No domain server was available to validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network resources.
NOTE: This problem does not occur when dialing with a Windows NT 4.0 RAS client.

CAUSE

One or more services have been added or changed on the RAS server without reapplying the Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 3 (SP3).

RESOLUTION

Reapply SP3 to the RAS server.
