PC DOS: Using the Micro or Monitor TSRs on NetBIOS Networks

Last reviewed: October 27, 1994
Article ID: Q80274

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

Notification may not occur when you use the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks Micro utility (MICRO.EXE) unless it is set up properly for the network protocol.

CAUSE

If Microsoft Mail for PC Networks was installed for an IBM Network, Mail assumes NetBIOS as the default. The Micro and Monitor utilities also assume NetBIOS as the default. However, if Mail is installed as a Novell network, NetBIOS is not used and Micro or Monitor may require the -x option to disable the NetBIOS compatibility.

MORE INFORMATION

This is just the opposite of the MAIL.EXE program where -x is used to signify the use of the NetBIOS protocol.

For more information about the use of command-line parameters, consult the "Microsoft Mail for PC Networks Administrator's Guide."
