No network login dialogue on startup

Go to your Control Panel and look for a TWEAKUI icon in it. TWeakui has an autologon feature that can be enabled so that you clear the user and the password in it and you are fine.

If that's not the problem, then go to Control Panel --> Network and make sure your default logon is on the Client for MS Networks.

I have ran acrossed this problem before.You need to go to control panel/system/network adaptor and uninstall your network card.Restart the machine and allow it to re-install your card.That should solve your problem.

If you don't have the TweakUI on your control panal. you can do it by editing you registry.

1. Run "regedit"
2. Goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVision\Network\Real Mode Net"
3. On the right windows of the registry Editor, Righ click and select "New\Binary Value"
4. Key "Autologon" for the Binary Value name and "0" for the data

Hope this will help

I would first just uninstall Client for Microsoft Networks, and Microsoft Family Logon. Then just install Client for Microsoft Networks alone. I would also look at the Properties of Client for Microsoft Networks, to make sure that "quick logon" isnot enabled. If it is, change that to "Logon on and restore Network connections."

Try that before going through the trouble of the more detailed aspect. I had something exactly the same happen to me, this solved it.

It is because no password was selected in the logon ti windows network. The easiest way I have found to resolve this is to remove the nic-card. Restart windows without the card,shut down,reinsleall the nic and reload the nic-drivers.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the network card, and Windows Networking, both several times, and used an actual password instead of a blank, and the result is a success, ie. it now prompts for a password. Initially 'Autologon' was set to '00' sothat wasn't the problem, whether accessed through Tweakui or Regedit. As with most of these problems, the solution is not straightforward. I think that the real solution is Linux, but that's another story.

If he has already removed tcp/ip and pwls then extracted a winsock and it not work, then removing and re-installing the network card will not help.
Answer # 3 will however do the trick. Windows 98 is Kinda funky sometimes, and only editing the registry will fix the Network Logon issue.
