Microsoft LAN Manager Networks
------------------------------
Many networks are based upon Microsoft LAN Manager. Consult your
network documentation, network distributor, or system administrator to
learn whether your network falls into this category, and if so, on
which version of LAN Manager it is based.
* Network software based on LAN Manager 1.x must not be loaded in the
high memory area (the first 64K of extended memory) on MS-DOS 4.0.
Consult your network administrator to determine if these conditions
apply to your workstation.
* LAN Manager Enhanced allows you to use popup services to see
incoming broadcast messages. These popup services can disrupt the
Windows display, so you must either disable them or run the LAN
Manager WinPopup utility so they can coexist with Windows.
The WinPopup utility should be located in your LAN Manager NETPROG
directory, that should already be included on your path. To
automatically start the utility when you start Windows, you must
include the following entry in the [windows] section of your
WIN.INI.
load=winpopup.exe
If you have installed Windows for LAN Manager 2.0 Enhanced, this
will be taken care of for you. If you are running LAN Manager 1.x
Enhanced, you must insert this line by hand. See WININI.TXT for
information on modifying your WIN.INI file.
Note that the WinPopup utility included with LAN Manager 1.x will
not run in standard or 386 enhanced mode. Request an upgrade from
your network manufacturer if you want to run popup services with
Windows.
Alternatively, if you wish to disable the popup services, use the
following procedure.
1. Find your LAN Manager root directory.
2. Use Notepad to open the LANMAN.INI file and locate the line that
begins with wrkservices=.
3. Remove the messenger and netpopup entries from this line.
4. Save the file.
5. Exit Windows and restart your computer.
* For Windows to support LAN Manager 2.0 Enhanced, you must have the
files NETAPI.DLL and PMSPL.DLL. These files should already be
located in your LAN Manager NETPROG directory, which should be on
your path.
