Connection a
Windows95 system to
a NT Domain
Server
I am not starting here from scratch, but assume you
have installed
already your network card.
The setup below assumes, that your system is connected on the
same network segment as the
domain-server. If you are connected via a router, please view also Connection via a
Router to a NT Domain Server.
In this example, I have in addition
of
the Network card (NE2000) also a
modem for Internet-access.
To connect to a Windows NT Domain
server, we need to configure the
"Client for Microsoft Networks",
by editing its "Properties".
We need to put the Checkmark on
"Log on to Windows NT Domain"
and we need to provide the name of
the NT Domain.
In addition, select in the Network-applet
the
tab: "Identicication" and change your
Workgroup name to be identical to
the Domain name (otherwise your will have problems browing
to the NT server).
The system will need to load additional components from
your
Windows 95 CD-ROM (or floppies) and then request you to reboot.
On Startup, you will now get the Domian Login screen:
To continue, you need now to enter a Username with password
(if required), which is valid on the NT server (you maybe prompted
to change the Password)
You should see
the NT-server in
the "Network
Neighborhood"
with its resources.
use the RIGHT-
mouse button to
getthe context
menu, from which you
then can select to
"Map Network Drive"
