Windows 98 login problem

Locked

We have been experiencing problems logging into Windows 98 machines in the last few days.

The error message was:
“The request is not accepted by the network. Try again later”

The same user id / password would work fine on an NT machine. RajB. claimed that he doesn’t have this login problem after hours.

Please email me at RPAGE@DAVOX.COM

Look at Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q242134. You may have a licensing issue.

Again, knowing nothing about NT, I feel quite inadequate to answer your question, but as a Netware user, I may have come across something very similar. My only suggestion at the moment is that you check your client licences. Are there too many userslogged on? This is one I’ve experienced, because I have to borrow a logon from a user, to do Netware Admin, and then log off again. (Because my boss is mean!)
Is there a pattern to this? Are you able to logon after hrs? Are your network protocols correct? what is the primary network logon? These are just some of the questions I ask myself when faced with these kind of problems. The first question is directed to the user -What have YOU done?
Hope it’s been of some help.

From Microsoft’s NT 4.0 knowledge base:

SYMPTOMS
Users on computers running Windows 95 report the following error:
This request is not accepted by the network. Try again later.

CAUSE
The user may be attempting to connect to a share that is configured to allows a specific number of connections, and that number of connections has been reached. Check the properties on the share on the server.

RESOLUTION
If the specified number of connections has been reached, increase the user limit or set the value to “maximum allowed.”

MORE INFORMATION
There are several other parameters that you can check when troubleshooting a problem with limited connections to the computer.

Verify that the computer is running a retail version of Windows NT. To verify this, check the Licensing tool in Control Panel and make sure that the following message does not appear:

Not available in NFR (Not for Resale)/MSDN Edition of Windows NT Server.

The server may be configured with Per Server licensing and the number of licenses may be exhausted. A quick check to see if this is the problem would be turn off the License Logging Service on the computer.

Check to see if the server was configured by upgrading a computer running WindowsNT Workstation to Windows NT Server. If it was, the following registry parameter may need to be increased from a hex value of 0xa (10) to 0xFFFFFFFF:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer \Parameters\Users

NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.

For additional information on changing this value, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
