Real Mode Redir Domain Validation Err Msg: Access Denied

Last reviewed: August 30, 1996
Article ID: Q124860
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
  • Microsoft Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS, version 3.11
  • Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS version 3.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

Computers running the Windows for Workgroups, Workgroup Add-On for MS-DOS, or Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS with the real mode redirector direct hosting over IPX may fail to be validated by a domain controller and display an access denied error message. The computer may not be able to connect to network drives.

This problem occurs when you are using either Microsoft NWLINK.EXE or Novell's IPX protocols but only over Token Ring. The problem also occurs when you use the updated redirector (NET.EXE) available from the CLIENT directory on the Windows NT Server version 3.5 CD.

NOTE: Under Windows NT 3.5, a new feature, direct hosting, was added to improve performance. This enables a Windows for Workgroups client to communicate directly with the server over IPX/SPX, rather than over NetBIOS.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, add the following line to the [network] section of the SYSTEM.INI file:
