[RESOLVED] System won't log on automatically

[ramyers]

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

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
