    Post System won't log on automatically

    I have a client with 1 PC that will not log on. As you all know if you do not log on then network resources are not available. If I just log off and then log on all is well. It just won't log on when you start or restart. I have unistalled all services and clients and TCP. I have removed all PWL files. This is a Win98 SE box, on a all Windows Peer to peer network. Files are located on a snap server, so access is important.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Robyn

    What protocol and settings are you using?

    Client for MS networks
    TCP/IP using DHCP
    etc...

    The more information the better. Also will the machine not log in at all, or just not log in automatically?

    Using just:
    Client for MS
    Network card driver
    TCP/IP
    File and Print sharing for MS

    Private address, proper range. Just will not automatically logon, if you logoff and logon all is well. Think I fixed this issue elsewhere a few years back. Cannot remember the fix.
    Thanks

    are you saying that your network is currently running as a workgroup?

    if so, try using NetBEUI as the default protocol. It should do the trick.

    Had the same problem try this..

    start run regedit
    hkey_local_machine
    -networking
    -logon

    LMLogon (binary value) set to 00 00 00 00
    PolicyHandler (string value) set to "Grouppol.dll,ProcessPolicies
    PrimaryProvider (string value) set to "Microsoft Network"
    username (string value) set to (there name)
    than reboot..
    Let me know if that worked.

    Will try the registry fix. May not get over there until Tuesday.

    Cannot use NetBeui, they use the Internet from a shared connection.

    It is not a protocol issue, the registry is corrupt or the system needs reloaded .. will try register fix just suggested.

    thanks everyone
