Errors on Token Ring Network with Banyan Vines 5.52 and WFWG

 Last reviewed: November 21, 1994
Article ID: Q111333
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

Windows for Workgroups adds NDISBAN.COM to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If you have a token ring configuration, this entry causes the following errors to occur when you start your system:

  • Vines NDIS interface error 1010- NDISBAN.DOC

    -and-

  • Error 5739 the Protocol Manager has reported an incompatible MAC driver

CAUSE

Banyan VINES version 5.52 (rev.5) uses NDTOKBAN.COM instead of NDISBAN.COM for NDIS token ring support. If you have the wrong file (NDISBAN.COM) in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, the errors occur. The errors also occur if you have both files in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, remove NDISBAN.COM from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
