SYMPTOMS
When a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 client running Microsoft TCP/IP-32 3.11b attempts to log on to a Windows NT domain, using NET LOGON command from the command prompt across routers. The attempt fails and the following warning message appears:

You are logged on, but have not been validated by a server.



CAUSE
The logon fails because the NET LOGON command attempts to resolve the domain name by using only b-node broadcasts. A query request for the domain <1C> SMB is not sent to the WINS server, nor is the local LMHOSTS file parsed after the three b-node broadcasts for Logon request SMB fail.

This problem does not occur when the Windows for Workgroups client logs on to the domain using the Enterprise logon option under Control Panel Networks in Windows for Workgroups3.11.



RESOLUTION
The above problem is fixed by updating the following WFW 3.11 files from the NT Server 3.51 CD or NT 4.0 Server CD.   NDIS.386 NET.EXE NET.MSG NETAPI.DLL NWNBLINK.386 VNETSUP.386 VREDIR.386 VSERVER.386 The updated files address specific problems related to Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 and also provide the following:


 * Support for inter-network browsing (they allow browsing to Windows NT domains from subnets that have only Windows for Workgroups clients).
 * A fix for problems using the NWLink protocol with the Ethernet_II frame type when connecting to a Windows NT Server.

Files can be found on \CLIENTS\WFW\UPDATE directory on NT 3.51 Server CD and on \CLIENTS\UPDATE.WFW directory on NT 4.0 Server CD.

WHEN USING the NT 3.5 Server CD take the following steps :

To work around this problem, either use Control Panel Network to log on or replace Microsoft TCP/IP-32 version 3.11b with version 3.11A.

NOTE: The TCP/IP-32 version 3.11A drivers can be found on the Windows NT 3.5 Server CD, in the CLIENTS\TCP32WFW\DISKS directory.
