SYMPTOMS
========
If a Windows 95 TCP/IP client without WINS or LMHOSTS entries tries to log on to
a Windows NT domain over a routed IP network, the logon may not succeed and you
may receive an error message similar to the following message:
No domain server was available to validate your password. You may not be able
to gain access to some network resources.
CAUSE
=====
To log on to a Windows NT domain, clients must be able to resolve the
domain<1C> NetBIOS name. Windows 95 clients can resolve only NetBIOS names
ending in <00> and <20> when using DNS.
RESOLUTION
==========
STATUS
