SYMPTOMS
========

With some third-party devices, a client using NetBEUI for dial-up can have a
very slow connection negotiation. This can lead you to believe that you are
logged on to the network, but the logon process is not actually finished.

RESOLUTION
==========

A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to
correct the problem described in this article and should be applied only to
systems experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional
testing at a later time, to further ensure product quality. Therefore, if you
are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait
for the next Windows NT 4.0 service pack that contains this fix.

support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in
