Article ID: Q155742 The information in this article applies to:
 * Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0
 * Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51, and 4.0
 * Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS
When you try to connect to a computer running Windows NT Server from a Windows 95 client using Dial-Up Networking, you receive the following error message:

Dial-Up Networking could not negotiate the compatible set of network protocols you specified in the Server Type settings. Check your network configuration in the control panel, then try the connection again.

CAUSE
Although the dial-up adapter may be correctly bound to multiple protocols in the Bindings tab of the Dial-Up Adapter Properties (located in Control Panel Network), the properties (specifically, the allowed protocols) for that connection may not be set correctly.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, follow the steps below:


 * 1) In the Dial-Up Networking folder, click the icon of the connection you want to connect to.
 * 2) On the File menu, click Properties.
 * 3) Under Allowed Network Protocols, verify that the correct protocol is checked.
