WFWG: Unable to Log on to Banyan VINES

• Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

You are unable to log on to the Banyan VINES network from the Windows for Workgroups directory, but can log on from the Banyan directory.

CAUSE

You may be experiencing problems with the default workstation environment settings in the PCCONFIG.DB file in your Windows for Workgroups directory.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, run PCCONFIG.EXE from the Windows for Workgroups directory, and set your default environment settings to the same values as those in the PCCONFIG.DB file in the Banyan directory.

NOTE: If you have had three unsuccessful log on attempts, reboot your computer. Banyan VINES networks require you to reboot the computer after three unsuccessful log on attempts.

Follow these steps to resolve the problem:

1. At the MS-DOS prompt from your Windows for Workgroups directory, type the following:

         PCCONFIG
   

2. Select the Login Environment Settings option.

3. Select the Edit/View Login Group Search List option.

4. You are prompted for a Login Group Search List. Enter the Group you belong to, an At Sign (@), then the Organization that your group resides in.

   For example, if your group is "Composers" and your organization is "Music," type:

         Composers@Music
   

5. Press the F10 key until you return to the MS-DOS prompt.

6. Restart your computer.
