I'm pulling my hair out for this one. I only post when I have tried absolutely everything. Here goes:

I am trying to get a Windows XP home edition with Client32 to logon to a NetWare server as well as a Windows NT4 Domain. However, having Client32 in place, it only prompts me for the Netware Login. I login and I will be able to access the Netware server. It doesn't ask me for Windows login or anything.

In Windows 98, after logging onto a Netware server, it would prompt me to login to a Windows Domain when I have the two clients set up. However, I didn't use Client32 for the windows98 set up.

So my question is: Is there a way I can logon to a Windows NT4 domain as well as a Netware server with XP home and Client32?
 
There is a lot of stuff about how XP Home cannot join an NT 4 domain. There have been posts about some work arounds in the XP Pro forum. Look at

Adding NetWare into the mix though is certainly going to be an exercise in frustration.

Thats why its called &quot;HOME&quot;. Underhanded I agree but there it is.

Would it work if you use identical logins for each Server or domain? In the past if I were using Netware and NT I would just use an identical login so windows would automatically login to the microsoft box. That of course was with Win98 but it worked in the past. Just a thought.
