Optimizing WFWG 3.11 for Real-Mode NetBIOS ProgramsLast reviewed: November 2, 1995Article ID: Q139016 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you are using a program or tool that relies on the real-mode NetBIOS interface provided by NetBEUI, your network session may be dropped in Windows for Workgroups 3.11. This problem is most likely to occur with programs or tools that load a real-mode TSR that interfaces with NetBIOS and have Windows-based components that communicate with the TSR.
CAUSEThis problem can be caused by a number of different timing and optimization problems that can occur when a Windows-based component uses the protected- mode NetBIOS interface to communicate with a real- mode TSR running over real-mode NetBEUI.
RESOLUTIONDisabling the protected-mode NetBEUI component and optimizing the real- mode NetBEUI protocol may increase the reliability of layered applications based on a real-mode NetBIOS interface requiring real-mode NetBEUI. The instructions in the following sections may help you to resolve the problem described in this article.
Remove Protected-Mode NetBEUI/Use Real-Mode NetBEUI Only
Optimize the Real-Mode NetBEUI Protocol
Optimize the Virtualized Network Interface
MORE INFORMATIONYou can also obtain and install Application Note WG0970 to help resolve these problems. For information about obtaining this Application Note, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
ARTICLE-ID: Q109448 TITLE : WG0970: VNETBIOS.386 Corrects Real-Mode Transport ProblemsThe configuration described in this article was tested and is stable with the original versions of the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 files. This configuration was not found to be stable with the updated Windows for Workgroups 3.11 files included on the Microsoft Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51 Server CD-ROMs or with the updated files included in Application Note WG1129.
