logon

Check this article:

Most probably, your solution will be to delete the following entry in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Network\Real Mode Net

AutoLogon=xx

change the logon (maybe it is set to Windows logon at the moment?)
it is a property of Client for Microsoft Networks in the network properties...

Try adding a second login name/password. I have seen Win9x not ask when there is only one 'account' on the computer. Also you could check to see if you are set to login to an NT domain (if you are using NT for a Domain controller as well as a server.) Just some random thoughts...hope it helps.

You didn't give info on your network settings, but; Check your network properties under 'Client for Microsoft Networks', Put a check in the box that says "Log onto NT domain" put the domain name in the space provided, and make sure that there is thebox is checked for "Quick Logon". 'Logon and restore network connection' box makes 95/98 systems verify all network connections before booting Windows, giving the appearence of not booting (taking upto 7-10 minutes depending on size of network and speed of 95/98 system).

Hope that helps out.

Answer 1 above is correct. I had this same problem, where it would boot up and not ask me to logon, but if I went to start-shutdown-logoff, it would log off and bring up the logon prompt, then I could logon and everything worked.

I edited the registry key (as mentioned in the answer #1 above) and the logon prompt came up the first time, and everytime afterwords....

Good luck!
