SUMMARY

When you have both the Microsoft Client for Microsoft Networks and the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks installed, you cannot specify different default logon names for the two servers you want to log on to. The logon name that is used for the primary network client is always used as the default logon name for the secondary network client.

MORE INFORMATION

When you have both the Microsoft Networks and the NetWare Networks clients installed, the number of logon dialog boxes you are presented with depends on the organization of your logon passwords. If your Windows 95, Windows NT, and NetWare passwords are the same, you are presented with only one logon dialog box when you start Windows 95. If your Windows 95 and Windows NT passwords are the same, but your NetWare password is different, you are presented with two logon dialog boxes.

You cannot avoid multiple logon dialog boxes if any two of your logon names are different. Because there is no way to specify different default logon names for the Microsoft Networks and the NetWare Networks clients, you must manually change the logon name for the secondary network client in the logon dialog box for that client.
