SYMPTOMS
When you use the ODI/NDIS Support driver and configure the NWLink IPX Compatible Transport protocol with the frame type of Ethernet_802.3 in Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS that is shipped with Windows NT Server version 3.5, the following message may appear when you attempt to log on to a Windows NT version 3.5 domain:

You were logged on, but have not been validated by a server. Therefore, you may not have permission to use some network resources.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, either run the Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS Setup program or modify its PROTOCOL.INI file:

Run Network Client Setup Program
 Run the Setup program for Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS and select Change Network Configuration. For the Protocol, select NWLink IPX Compatible Transport, and for Options, select Change Settings. Select either one of the following for Frame Type:

Ethernet _802.2

Ethernet_II

Ethernet _SNAP

 Exit Setup and restart the computer. On the Windows NT Server version 3.5, verify that you have the same frame type configured for the NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport protocol in Network of Control Panel.

Modify PROTOCOL.INI
 Using a text editor such as EDIT.COM, open the PROTOCOL.INI file for the Network Client.</li>  In the [MS$NWLINK] section of PROTOCOL.INI, change the following: [MS$NWLINK] FRAME=Ethernet_802.3 to      [MS$NWLINK] FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 (or Ethernet_II or Ethernet_SNAP) </li> Save and exit the text editor, and reboot the computer.</li></ol>
