Updating LAN Manager Redirector After Upgrading from MS-DOS 3

• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22
• Microsoft Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS
• Microsoft LAN Manager Client version 2.2c

SUMMARY

If you upgrade to MS-DOS 6.0 or later from MS-DOS version 3.x and you are using Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1 or 2.2, you must copy the correct redirector to your LAN Manager directory. If you use the incorrect redirector, you receive an error message stating that you are using an incorrect version of MS-DOS. To correct this error, use the procedure below appropriate to your version of LAN Manager.

MORE INFORMATION

LAN Manager 2.1 or 2.2 Enhanced

To correct this situation, copy and rename the NETWKSTA.500 redirector. For example, if you are using the default LANMAN.DOS directory, type the following on one line at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER:

   copy c:\lanman.dos\netwksta\netwksta.500 c:\lanman.dos\netprog
   \netwksta.exe

You should not need SETVER for the network; if you have NETWKSTA in the SETVER table, you may want to remove it.

LAN Manager 2.1 or 2.2 Basic

The above information is true for LAN Manager 2.1 and 2.2 Basic except that you need to copy REDIR.500 instead of NETWKSTA.500. For example, if you are using the default LANMAN.DOS directory, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER:

   copy c:\lanman.dos\redir\redir.500 c:\lanman.dos\basic\redir.exe

LAN Manager Version 2.0

If you are using LAN Manager version 2.0 and are upgrading from MS-DOS version 3.x, you need to obtain the MS-DOS Supplemental disks. For more information, refer to the coupon in the back of your "User's Guide."
