SYMPTOMS
When you start the Windows real-mode networking services, the commands
NET LOGON or NET START WORKSTATION load the incorrect network redirector.
CAUSE
The Net.exe file contains two redirectors (VREDIR for the Microsoft Client,
and NWREDIR for the Netware Client). Windows determines which redirector
to load by checking the Preferredredir key in the registry. If this key is
not set, VREDIR is loaded by default.
RESOLUTION
Check the Primary Network Logon setting to ensure that the desired client
is selected. To check the Primary Network Logon setting, follow these
steps:
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click Network.
- In the Network dialog box, under Primary Network Logon, select the
desired client, and then click OK.
This setting automatically makes the appropriate changes to the registry.
