Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Networking / May 2007HELP Windows 98 Network Authentication problem
We have instruments that are attached to the network and for some reason I have continual problems with the windows 98 machines connecting to the network. They can see the network and I even copied a file to one through the network, but when I try to log onto the machine no matter what I use to log in I get an error saying that the password supplied is invalid or the server has denied access. I have even tried logging in as the domain administrator and it refuses to allow me to log onto the network. I tried installing the dsclient with no success. I don't understand what the problem is, it was on the network just fine yesterday. Another odd thing I'm noticing is that when I log on local to the machine and run ipconfig/all it's got a valid IP address!!! I can ping the domain controller and everything! I can see the local intranet (none of the links work though). It is very unfortunate that I have to keep supporting these older O/Ss, but the windows 98 machines are DEFINITELY the ones I have the most trouble with. I'm out of options on what to try next so I'm now asking the experts. Let me rephrase the error exactly how it reads. The domain password you supplied is invalid or the server has denied your access. > We have instruments that are attached to the network and for some reason I > have continual problems with the windows 98 machines connecting to the [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > I'm out of options on what to try next so I'm now asking the experts. Never mind. I installed the wrong version of DSClient. I then installed the DSClient9x and the problem seems to be fixed. my bad for not remembering there are 2 versions of this. > Let me rephrase the error exactly how it reads.

I'd say the installation program should have checked the operating system and stopped with an appropriate error message first time round. Jim. Unfortunately the problem only appeared to be resolved, but for some reason this same very machine got disconnected from the network again!!!!! I've got several machines that run instruments that keep getting booted from the network. Unfortunately all personnel that used to maintain these computers have left, and since then I have noticed these same computers consistently have issues staying connected to the network. It's a real problem because while the instruments connected to these computers are running, the disconnects shut down the instrument and ruins the whole run cycle. We're talking about windows 98 machines and windows 2000 machines. From what I remember the DSClient I installed that I believed resolved the problem is intended for pre 2000 operating systems. Now I'm seeing this same ugly problem not only with the Windows 98 machine, it's also happening with a windows 2000 machine. > > my bad for not remembering > >there are 2 versions of this.
