Q146408

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95
 * Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

-

SYMPTOMS
When you dial a Microsoft Windows NT-based computer using Chat (Winchat.exe) in Windows 95 or Windows for Workgroups, you are prompted for a domain name and password.

CAUSE
When you dial a Windows NT-based computer using Chat in Windows 95 or Windows for Workgroups, domain validation is required.

RESOLUTION
In Windows for Workgroups, if you cache your domain password you are not prompted for a password when you dial a Windows NT-based computer. In Windows 95, you must always enter your domain password when you use Chat to dial a Windows NT-based computer.

MORE INFORMATION
Although you can cache your domain password when you log on to Windows 95 or Windows for Workgroups, Chat does not look for the cached password in Windows 95.
