Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you dial into a Windows NT 4.0 Remote Access Service (RAS) server using a Windows 95 RAS client with the TCP/IP protocol, you are unable to ping any hosts on the remote network, including the RAS server's IP addresses, and you may receive the following error message:

No domain server was available to validate your password. You may not be able to gain access to some network resources.

NOTE: This problem does not occur when dialing with a Windows NT 4.0 RAS client.

CAUSE

One or more services have been added or changed on the RAS server without reapplying the Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 3 (SP3).

RESOLUTION

Reapply SP3 to the RAS server.
