Slow Authentication

[GOSCO]

Hi guys,

I logon to a NT server from a windows 98 machine across a slow WAN. When I type my username an password I am told that "My username was incorrect and that I may not be able to access some network resources" On the contary I am actually logged in ok and everything is fine. I think this is due to the slow WAN connection and the win98 machine not waiting long enough to be authenticated.

My question, how do I tell the Win98/NT server to wait a bit longer for the login to be authenticated?

Hi,

You have to tell the client to wait a little longer for the authentication, not the server.

In Windows NT Workstation, there is a registry variable called ExpectedDialupDelay that you can set to a maximum of 600 secs.

I don't know whether it works on Win98 but you can try.
