When 2 Windows 9x machines try to logon to NT 4.0 Domain we recieve: "The domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to the logon server has been denied."

Facts:
-Win9x machines are static IP with "hosts" file
-NO WINS, DNS, etc...
-Browse interent fine and can ping each other, server, etc...
-TCP/IP and NETBEUI protocols
-NO user can logon to Win9x clients
-Win2000/NT machines all OK.
-Rebuilt Network stacks
-Deleted user and recreated
-Killed cached PW's
-Setip WINS with static entry
-lmhosts file w/ nbtstat -R, -c
Everything looks fine!

I have looked at serveral groups and cannot find anyone who has actually solved this problem yet, just A LOT of feedback on possible fixes that I already tried and didn't work
Help me please!

Thanks for the help. My buddy was able to fix it when he got back from vacation! Yes, Client for Microsoft was installed!

Go to the Nt Server, Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Services->Check whether the Logon services are running

Other wise please check the Event viewer for any errors while the NT/2000 Server is getting started

Here's an oldie but goodie.

Imagine you have tried this already, but have you checked workgroup name is the SAME as the domain name in the Microsoft client? I think this used to cause browsing problems, not login problems. Might still be worth checking, as default builds tend to set this to "workgroup" or some similar. Good Luck
