This may be a simple question, but it's outside of my expertise.

We have several laptop users (95 and NT) who need to access our network from the road. We have an 800 number for this, and dialing in and connecting seems to be no problem. However, most people either get the No Domain Server error when prompted to log in to the network, or get no prompt at all, merely a TCP/IP address. All of the network settings are correct to log in, and WINS and DNS servers are specified. Any ideas?

Do you have IP Forwarding set up on the RAS server? I believe that either a.) the RAS server needs to be a DC, or b.) you need to have IP forwarding enabled to route the logon request to a DC.

Hope this helps

I had a similar problem on my NT 4 modile machines. I disabled "Use IP header compression", "enable PPP LCP Extensions" and "Enable Software Compression" in the dial up TCP/IP properties sheet. After disabling those attributes on the particular connection, I was able to log on without issue.

On the NT machines, I've had a similar problem when the "Use Dial-Up" box on the initial logon screen was not checked.

But that wouldn't explain the problem on the Win95 machines. Hmmm....

1) Are their workgroups set to the same name as your Domain name?
2) Are they logging into 95 with the same ID and password as their NT account id and password?
3) Is "Use Default gateway on remote network" checked under dial-up properties?
