hello. maybe you can help me. i am using microsoft network client over freedos on bochs and trying to log on to our office domain. it always replies "error 5: access is denied" i tried and installed on the vm win98 and from there i logged on without a problem. how can i make microsoft network client to log on properly? than you guys for all your help

Check your protocols. Does the client have the same protocols, domain/workgroup, dns suffixes as the server?

well.. i set the client the same way i set the win98: use dhcp workgroup: office domain: office comp name: faxxy on the dos client if i enter a username that does not exist it replies: "You were logged on, but have not been validated by a server." only when i enter a user that exists (doesn't matter what password i use) i get "error 5: access is denied" thanks i can by the way connect to a shared resource on a machine that doesn't care if i am logged on to the domain or not.
