SYMPTOMS
When you try to log on to a TCP/IP- and Microsoft Windows NT-based network using a Microsoft Windows 95-based client, you may not be able to do so. The client computer may have both TCP/IP and IPX/SPX bound to the network adapter and both Client for Microsoft Networks and Client for NetWare Networks installed.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Windows 95-based client is using IPX/SPX as the default protocol and the Windows NT Server-based servers are configured for TCP/IP only. The network logon validation request may time out before TCP/IP sends a confirmation.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, on the Windows 95-based computer, cancel the bindings for IPX/SPX, and then remove any Novell client software. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) In Control Panel, double-click Network.
 * 2) Click Configuration.
 * 3) In the list of installed network components, click the network adapter, and then click Properties.
 * 4) Click Bindings.
 * 5) Click to clear the IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol and any Novell client software check boxes.
 * 6) Click OK, and then click OK again.
 * 7) Click Yes to restart the computer.
