Hiya, on one of the machines in our office, there is an unusual problem. Usually when you turn on one of the machines, you will be prompted to put in your username and password and this will connect you to the network. But on this particular machineit goes straight to the Windows screen, but it is still connected to the network. In control panel, network and tcp ip address all the info is correct, but it still doesnt come up with a prompt to login.
What am I doing wrong and can someone help me to solve this pls.

Thanks

If you go to Start-> Logout, does the Login box come up? If so, delete the following entry in the following registry key:

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

AutoLogon=xx

See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q141/8/58.asp

for details.

What you need to do is right click on network neighborhood and click properties. Right under the area where all the protocalls are listed ther is a drop down list. Make sure this is set to client for network logon. Or something like that, I don'tremember what the exact wording is. Just make sure it isn't set to windows logon. With that setting windows 9x will startup without prompting for a logon.

Just an mention, not a likely solution. Make sure that the properties of Client for Microsoft Network has a check in the box for Logon to NT domain with the domain name included. Nothin'll more sure to make you scratch your head when you reboot andcan't logon. You'll stare at the screen, sayin "What?"
