To whom it may concern:
I'm trying to add a new user to our network. He just got a brand new laptop in and it's running Win98. I added in all of the correct network settings into the laptop and restarted like it asked me to. I type in the admin user name and password and I get the error message,"The domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to your logon server has been denied." We know it's not the password because we checked it like 30 times. So anyway, I cancel so I can get into the system. Now, GET THIS!!! I can ping all of the other servers and when I go into Internet Explorer and set it up on the proxy, I can even get on the net. But, for some strange reason I still can't get access to the network. We also ran diagnostics on the card and all of that and it's all ok. I'M AM VERY CONFUSED, PLEASE HELP!~!!!!

Since you can ping everybody that says ip is working. Is DNS server enabled and domain set? Are you trying to run ipx/spx? If so check the frame type in properties and change it from auto to 802.2 or 802.3. Check settings for pcmcia/ nic card. It maybe too smart. Set static values for speed, etc. It may be wrong polarity. Enable netbeui. Have you configured the microsoft client / netware client. Workgroups should be the same, and NO spaces at end or beginning of computer name, etc. Is wins enables, and default gateway? If nt workstation are you in CAPS/ No CAPS for username and password.

Again since you can ping addresses, you know ip is working, but not anything else. Try the clients configs and the protocol configs and you might get lucky.

Also you might need to have File and printer sharing enabled. The neighborhood is designed for resources. If you are not sharing enables whether you are actually sharing or not may not be seen on the network.

You may also want to check to see that the name of the domain is entered correctly in the properties of your networking client.

Since you're using the domain admin account, there shouldn't be any account issues. In addition to other suggestions, make sure the Computer Name of the laptop doesn't have a trailing space. Also, there was a known issue in Win95 related to a workstation logging on at startup and then trying to log onto the network with a different account - see Q177362 for some info on this. I'm not sure if it applies to Win98.
