I'm working on a PC where I can't get the network login box to appear upon startup. All of the other systems in our Agency the logon box appears automatically upon startup. I can still log on to the network, however, by going to start, logoff, THEN the network logon box appears.

I've done everything I can think of...

Client for microsoft networks is installed and configured for the appropriate domain.

The NIC is installed...I even uninstalled it and reinstalled it

I've tried installing a different NIC.

I've removed the TCP/IP stack and reinstalled it.

I even reformatted and reinstalled the entire system (not only because of this problem).

I even called in an outside vendor who tried some things with the Registry (don't ask me exactly what) but he couldn't figure it out either.

Any Ideas? Thanx a bunch.

What OS are you running?

If it is Win2000, try going into control panel/administrative tools/local security settings/local policy/security options and enable CTRL+ALT+DELETE login.

Here is another thing that you could try. Go into the control panel and go to Users and Passwords. Make sure that there is a check mark in the box where it says: User must enter name and password to use this computer. This will prompt for a user and password everytime you power on the PC.

Search for and delete all *.pwl files.

If you've done a fresh install and it's still doing it, it has to be either hardware or network related I would think. I can't offer much guidance, because I can't imagine what it might be!

It's windows 98. I tried the .pwl delete. the only thing that it did was make me re-enter the windows password after logging on to the network.

I went in to control panel, users passwords and didn't see where I could check all users must enter password. It started a wizard for me to enter a profile...I created a profile, then went back in to it and it shows a user list, only containing that profile, though. But, nowhere to check all users must enter password. I also checked under passwords and no such option.

Any other ideas? I'm stumped and everyone else I've talked to seems to be also.

The Microsoft Client for Network is selected as the "Primary Client for Network Logon" in the network properties?

 

[sleemie]

Yup...and under the properties for Client for Mic Networks I've checked Log on to Windows NT Domain and entered the correct domain name

 

[Pseudocyber]

Hmmm....

Call Microsoft?

ROTFLMAO ...

 

[sleemie]

nope..
