Apple MAC Logon takes 13 or more tries

[Robin59]

Got a MAC G3 that logs onto an NT domain, first logon to PC is good, but when it tries to logon to Server1, it takes keying in password 13 or more times before it logs on (and it does actually logon). It works, but really a pain having to type password so many times. Any one got any idea's? Appreciate your help. Thanks.

It sounds as if the password is getting garbled on the way.

Have you tried reinstalling the MAC client ?
What other MACs suffer from this ?
What happens when antoehr user logs on to this MAC ?
What happens when this logs on to another MAC ?
What happens when this logs on to another PC ?

This could be down to the MAC client having a slightly different encryption to the NT decryption. But it's probably something more simple such as the MAC being set at something like 10/HALF and the server being set to 10/FULL.

HTH
