SYMPTOMS
When a Windows 95- or Windows 98-based client computer attempts to log on to the domain when it is connecting to a remote access server, the client may receive the following error message:

The domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to your logon server has been denied.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if the Lmhosts file on the client contains an entry that maps the name of a domain controller with an incorrect Internet protocol (IP) address.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
 * 1) Rename the Lmhosts file on the client.
 * 2) Restart the client.
 * 3) Attempt to log on again.
 * 4) When the client is connected, review the Lmhosts file to find the incorrect entry.
