DOCUMENT:Q134595 28-JUL-2001 [win95x] TITLE :NET START WORKSTATION Command Loads Incorrect Redirector PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER:95 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:3rdpartynet msnets win95 win98 kb3rdPartyNetClient ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows 95 - Microsoft Windows 98 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: 1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. 2. Double-click Network. 3. 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. MORE INFORMATION ================ Note that the NET LOGON command does not work with NWREDIR. The NET LOGON command is not supported with NetWare NCP servers. If you use this command with NWREDIR, you receive the following error message: Error 50:You attempted an operation that cannot be performed from your computer or that is not supported on the specified server... ====================================================================== Keywords : 3rdpartynet msnets win95 win98 kb3rdPartyNetClient Technology : kbWin95search kbWin98search kbZNotKeyword3 kbWin98 Version : 95 Issue type : kbprb ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
