Well I found out that if you do [EMAIL PROTECTED] it pegs and if you do [EMAIL PROTECTED] it logs on fine.
So I see now it does NT Auth, but do you have to manually type in each name into the contact list? I see where you can restrict it to IP but can you restrict it by groups? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 11:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IpswitchIM_Forum] Failed to connect to: domain controller Hi Tony - I'm not sure if you've solved your problem, but I thought I'd throw out what I've implemented. I have two domains on my network - let's call them Domain1 (authentication domain) and Domain2 (domain where IIM is installed). Domain2 trusts users from Domain1, provided they have authenticated of course. Domain1, however, does not trust Domain2.. Both domain controllers for each domain are running Windows NT. Under the IPSwitch IM Server manager, I have my authentication database set to "WindowsNT" and under the "Configure" option, I've set the domain I'm authenticating to as Domain1 and the machine name as Domain1-PDC. That's it. When I install the client on the workstation, I log in using the same username/password I use to log onto our network. I have seen the client peg the CPU on the client machine when trying to use a client incompatible with the server version. Note that with the evaluation version, there is a 1.01 upgrade (if they haven't updated the initial demo version yet) that I strongly suggest installing. When you install a new server version, a new client version is generated in the installation directory on the server. Use that client to then upgrade your workstation. Hope that helps. -Todd "Anthony Valuikas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IpswitchIM_Forum] Failed to connect to: domain controller switch.com 04/02/2003 09:52 AM Please respond to IpswitchIM_Forum More Info I logged in as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the server that has IIM installed) and after about 15 seconds it seems to have logged on but the systray icon says Status: State Unknown and the client will not launch. It is really hammering the client. On the server I can see that I am connected even thought it seems to me the way I logged in was wrong.

On the client side I am getting the error Failed to connect to (IP of a DC on the network) on port 5177. The IP of the DC is not the DC I placed in Machine Name of Domain Controller which really does not have me worried. This is a local area network and not going through a firewall. Also there are no entries in the PCL for the domain. Ideas??
