Windows 95 connection problem.

[Robert Wood]

Hi Kourosh,

Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I've already visited this page, 
downloaded the recommended file, installed it and it made not a blind bit of 
difference. :-( 

Cheers,

Rob. 


 Rob,
 
 Win95 only does plain text passwords out of the box.  There is a
 Microsoft Knowledge base article related to that and according to
 it there are two updates that you need to apply.  Here's the article:

 Regards.
