OemDomainName in Negotiate Protocol Repsonse

[Raghu Iyer]

I have attached a packet trace between two NT4.0 machines
that shows a NegProt Response (packet #7) where the flags2 bit
does not say Unicode, yet the oemdomainname field is in UNICODE.
Additional packets are included to show the machine identity.

Going strictly by flag2 bit, does not appear definitive.
Should one consider an OR of flags2 bit and Capabilities field bit
that says Server accepts UNICODE ?

Regards,
Raghu

Perhaps you look in the bit in flags 2 that says whether or not you are 
using UNICODE. When I get to work I can look at my collection of
captures 
to see if this looks like the case.
