SYMPTOMS
========
Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 clients are not validated across a
router on a domain using DNS.
CAUSE
=====
The clients send out numerous DNS Standard Query packets to resolve the Domain
name defined during logon. They receive the correct IP address for the domain
controller if it is correctly defined in DNS, but do not send a Query for PDC
packet until after the following error has already been received:
No Domain Server was available to validate your password. You may not be able
to gain access to some network resources.
Even if an LMHOSTS file is correctly defined, the logon validation fails.
WORKAROUND
==========
Use a WINS server for NetBIOS name resolution, or do not use DNS.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 95 and Windows for
Workgroups version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new
information herein the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
Additional query words: 3.11
