Configuring Network Client for Validation Across Routers

ID: Q128350

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS version 3.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5
To allow a computer running Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS to be validated by a primary domain controller (PDC) across a router:

  1. Run Network Client for MS-DOS Setup and install TCP/IP.


  2. Make sure that the following entries are present in the [Network] section of the SYSTEM.INI file located in the Network Client for MS-DOS subdirectory (typically C:\NET):
    lmlogon=1
    logondomain=<Your domain name>


  3. Add the following to the LMHOSTS file in the Network Client for MS-DOS subdirectory:
    <IP address> <PDC NetBIOS name> #DOM:<Domain name>
    NOTE: The #PRE command should not be used in the LMHOSTS file for Network Client for MS-DOS. Any command following the #PRE command is ignored. For example, if you add #PRE in front of #DOM:<Domain name>, #DOM: <Domain name> is ignored.
