The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you are using the Microsoft Service for NetWare Directory Services (NDS), if you log in to a bindery server using the Advanced button in the Login dialog box, and then click "Close all programs and log on as a different user" in the Shut Down dialog box, the Login dialog box states:

  You are logging into the server named. You will not have access to  your directory tree. The server name in the dialog box is blank. If you enter your password and click Continue, you receive the following error message:

You are not logged in to the server. The server name you specified is not valid or the server is not available.

CAUSE
This area of the Login dialog box is based on the Preferred Server entry in the properties for the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks. If this entry is blank, the problem described above occurs.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use either of the following methods:


 * In the Login dialog box, click Advanced, click "Log in to a bindery server," and enter the name of the correct server.
 * Add a preferred server on the General tab in the properties for the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
