The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).
