-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5 
- Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the ODI/NDIS Support driver and configure the NWLink IPX Compatible
Transport protocol with the frame type of Ethernet_802.3 in Network Client
version 3.0 for MS-DOS that is shipped with Windows NT Server version 3.5, the
following message may appear when you attempt to log on to a Windows NT version
3.5 domain:

  You were logged on, but have not been validated by a server. Therefore, you
  may not have permission to use some network resources.


WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, either run the Network Client version 3.0 for
MS-DOS Setup program or modify its PROTOCOL.INI file:

Run Network Client Setup Program
--------------------------------

1. Run the Setup program for Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS and select
  Change Network Configuration.

2. For the Protocol, select NWLink IPX Compatible Transport, and for Options,
  select Change Settings.

3. Select either one of the following for Frame Type:

  Ethernet _802.2
  Ethernet_II
  Ethernet _SNAP

4. Exit Setup and restart the computer.

5. On the Windows NT Server version 3.5, verify that you have the same frame
  type configured for the NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport protocol in
  Network of Control Panel.

Modify PROTOCOL.INI
-------------------

1. Using a text editor such as EDIT.COM, open the PROTOCOL.INI file for the
  Network Client.

2. In the [MS$NWLINK] section of PROTOCOL.INI, change the following:

        [MS$NWLINK]
        FRAME=Ethernet_802.3

  to

        [MS$NWLINK]
        FRAME=Ethernet_802.2 (or Ethernet_II or Ethernet_SNAP)

3. Save and exit the text editor, and reboot the computer.
