We're running NT Server 2K, adding 2 identical Win 95 workstations. One is up & running on the network. The other returns the message "The domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to your logon server has been denied." 100% confident domain password is correct. Also tried server admin account. I can ping other machines from this one, ping this one from others, I can ping yahoo. I see this machine and all files from other machines on the network. Logon to Win NT domain box is checked, and correct domain is entered.
Please respond.

technet has an article on this issue. it has to do with a bug in a DLL. The title of the article is: "Password problems".
Part of the article:
This is a bug in the version of the Windows 95 network provider DLL (MSNP32.DLL ) that shipped with theoriginal retail versions of the operating system and the OEM versions through OSR2. The correct version of the file is MSNP32.DLL Version 4.00.951. The file has the date 8/20/96 and is 67,584 bytes. You may be able to find it on a Windows 95 computer with a very late version of an OEM installation. If not, you can call Microsoft support for information about obtaining the file. In the meantime, your Windows 95 users can probably live with the requirement to re-enter the logon after a password change. However, if you have a lockout policy that kicks in after one bad password entry, the problem becomes serious. Incidentally, the early version of MSNP32.DLL also causes problems with Strong Passwords.

Good luck

Unable to Browse the Network. I was unable to contact Microsoft for this file, but the MSNP32.DLL file on these PC's is Version 4.00.950, and the file has the date 8/24/96 and is 67,584 bytes. I did find mention of this in the MS knowledgebase,but it referenced MSNP32.DLL Version 4.00.955. If you want more info, please see the question titled "Unable to browse the Network.

Thank You for your time.

When logging try retyping the domain name. I had a machine that had the domain spelled correctly but had a space in the first character position of the domain name.

I checked both machines, and the existing file is the same size, dated 8/24/96, but version 4.00.950. ("MSNP32.DLL Version 4.00.951. The file has the date 8/20/96 and is 67,584")
I looked for this file on microsoft's site, they referenced version 4.00.955. They also say to contact them to acquire the file. Anyone know how to contact these people to get this file without spending a days pay to do it??
