Network Login and Connection Problem
One of my clients has an unusual problem on their TCP/IP network. One of
their Windows 98SE workstations has login and connection problems with the Windows NT 4.0 PDC. Here are the symptoms: 1.. The Windows 98SE machine can only login to the Windows NT 4.0 PDC from a cold boot, it will not login after a restart. The Windows 98SE machine displays the following error when attempting to login after a restart: The domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to your logon server has been denied. The Windows 98SE machine must be shutdown before logging in successfully. 2.. After getting logged in from a complete shutdown and connected to the PDC/fileserver for about 10 minutes, the connection to the PDC/fileserver is dropped. 3.. There are five other Windows 98SE computers on this network that have no problems logging on or staying connected to the PDC/fileserver. I have done the following attempting to solve the problem, which still persists: 1.. Nuked the Windows 98SE machine and completely reinstalled the operating system; no change in the problem. 2.. Changed the password on the PDC for the problem Windows 98SE machine; no change in the problem. 3.. Changed from DHCP client to a static IP address on the Windows 98SE machine; no change in the problem. 4.. While making a hardware change on the Windows 98SE machine, I turned off the second IDE bus in the BIOS, and then the machine could not log in to the domain at all. When I turned the second IDE bus back on, the problem returned to its prior state. At this point, I think one of the following could be the problem: 1.. The Windows 98SE machine is experiencing a hardware/setup problem that is causing the login/connection problem with the Windows NT 4.0 PDC. Perhaps the 3Com 3C905B network card is faulty. 2.. The computer account on the PDC is corrupted. The computer account needs to be deleted from the PDC and the Windows 98SE machine needs to be renamed to force a new computer account to be created on the PDC. I would appreciate any help you can provide on this unusual problem. Please contact me by e-mail at with your reply. Thanks in advance for your assistance. -Beau Sanders |

You should also dagnose the Ethernet connection. Swap a working PC in its locale and see if it works OK. If it doesn't, its the wiring or the connection to the hub or E-switch. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |
