Well, I don't know about Fortres, but this can be accomplished with TweakUI
(a control panel utility from Microsoft), or by changing the Primary Network
Logon (in the Network properties) from Client for Microsoft Networks to
Windows Logon, then logging on with (any) username and a blank password.

If this is an OPAC then people probably shouldn't be able to get at the
network settings, but I'd start looking there anyway.
