Attaching a Mac to the Internet through Domain...

[Dave]

This is a WinNT4 domain, with MS Proxy running on a Win2K
Server, through IIS 5.0.
We recently retired our old NT4 Proxy Server, and moved
Proxy to a newer Win2K server. Things have improved with
the newer, faster server. We are having a new issue with
one classroom of Macs, however.
These are Mac G3 machines, running Mac OS9. With the old
server, it seemed to authenticate properly. Since we put
the Win2K server in, now the Macs can log on, after a few
minutes the user's account gets locked out. I have
noticed that with these machines, the authentication
screen that pops up gives only a username and password
line, whereas the only other Macs we have, use Mac OSX,
and they give also a domain line. Putting in the domain
name seems to resolve this.
Does anyone have experience allowing Mac computers onto
the Internet with a Win2K server running MS Proxy Server?

Thanks in advance!

Dave

Hi Dave!

You can enter the domain name in the following form:

Name: "domain\user"
Password: "password"

Hope this helps! bill
