Under the Protocols tab for Windows NT or under the Network Control Panel
for Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP and Windows 2000, verify that
NetBEUI is not installed. If NetBEUI is listed, click on it, then click on
Remove. This forces the Network Neighborhood to use NetBIOS over TCP/
IP, which is compatible with the switch. Click on OK and reboot your system.
Windows Domain Logon
There are two ways to logon to the Windows domain:
Windows service (Two-step Domain Logon)
Windows GINA (Connect Before Logon)
Two step domain logon
GINA
You can log on to an existing Windows domain that exists on the private side of
the switch. You must have a valid Windows domain account that is accessible
from the private side of the switch. To log in to the Windows domain:
1 Launch the Contivity VPN Client.
2 Make a connection to the switch that has the Windows NT domain.
3 Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to log in to the Windows NT domain from the
already established connection to the switch.
A graphical identification and authentication (GINA) DLL provides an automated
process to complete a Windows domain logon through a VPN tunnel. GINA
implements the authentication policy of the interactive logon and performs all
identification and authentication user interactions for the Windows system. You
do not need to log in locally to launch the client, then log out of the local system to
authenticate to the Windows domain.
