Win2000 Network Logon Problem

[shlznit]

I am having a problem logging on to a network computer over a domain. From the computer I am working at, I am not on the domain. I can browse the network for computer names and information but when I try to view a computer, I get a logon prompt. After typing the username and password correctly I still cannot log in and the prompt pops back up. If you know of anything that could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The computer you are on does not have an account in the domain. Therefore, you cannot log onto the domain from that computer. Even if you have a valid user account.
There are two parts to the logon equation. The user account and the computer account. You only have half of that equation.

I can log on from any other computer, I have a domain account. Should I add my user name and pass I use on the domain on my own computer? Would that solve anything? Other than that, I believe I have tried everything; except of course what will fix the problem :frown:

FYI: The computer I am working at is not on the domain and cannot be added for various reasons. Hope this helps any.

Create a local user account on your computer with the exact User Name and Password as your Domain account. Your logon creditials will pass thru when you try to access a domain share. Just make sure to change your local password whenever you are forced to change your domain password.

FYI - I have the same situation at work, our IT department Refuses to allow any NT based computer join the domain (except theirs, of course). I just log on to my W2K machine and then access all the shares. The only thing I do differently is set up the printers directly.

when it ask to logon enter your user name in such order:
login: domain\username (try different slash if that one does not work, i may not remember exactly)
password:yourpassword

If you use active directory and IT worked it right you can use email format: user@domain.xxx and your password.

Well thanks for all your help but it still isn't working. I still cannot log in to the domain share I guess I will have to live without it for now. Thanks again.

What OS client are you on? If it's NT, then the domain may be set to Native mode, which should only allow Kerberos logins, no NTLM. Are there any other NT machines in the domain?

You should be able to do:
net use * \\servername\sharename * /u:DOMAINNAME\username
and it will prompt you for the password.
