RE: Logon to NT Server?

[Dave Hennen]

the key will be being able to identify the domain controllers by name, name resolution.  if the pc can't find the domain controller, PDC or BDC in nt4, your pc will not be able to logon and you see the message you got.  if the controller is on a remote network and you are using tcpip your pc needs to know the address of the domain controller before making the logon request.  not much needs to be done on the routers excepts making sure the netbios related ports are not blocked, 135-139 or something like that.   this can be done in a couple of ways, a local file called lmhosts, which is a static listing of ip addresses and computernames kind of like a hosts file in a unix environment.  the second is to setup wins resolution, which is a service that dynamically builds a database of computernames and their tcpip addresses.  this requires a server be running the wins service and a setting in the client pc TCPIP properties.  a third way is to put a Backup Domain Controller on the remote subnet   http://www.microsoft.com/technet   will have lots of information daveh -----Original Message----- From: Ngo Van Dzung [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2000 11:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Logon to NT Server? Hi all, I have 2 LAN connect together over leased line. In LAN 1 I using CISCO Router 2611 and in LAN 2 using CISCO Router 805. My IOS software have only TCP/IP option. Now in LAN 2 I have Windows NT Server and when I logon to to this Server from W95 client in LAN 1 I alway see the message: "There are no domain to validate your username and password..." but I can ping from client to this Server and I can find this server via IP Address. When I logon to this server from client in LAN 1 and use same username it work normaly. So how can I solve this problem? may I need to add some configuration to my router? Please help me!   Thanks alot.
