SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to log on to your network, you may receive the following error message:

No domain server was available to validate your logon

After you receive this error message, you may not be able to view or use network resources.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you connect to your network by using an infrared device (not a fast infrared device), and your computer is configured to use only the IPX/SPX protocol.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, obtain and install a fast infrared device to connect to your network.

To work around this issue, install another network protocol that is in use on your network. To do so, use the following steps:

NOTE: For information about the protocols in use on your network, please contact your network administrator.


 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network.
 * 2) Click Add, click Protocol, and then click Add.
 * 3) In the Manufacturers box, click Microsoft, and then click the appropriate network protocol in the Network Protocols box.
 * 4) Click OK, click OK, and then restart your computer.
