Remote Control Works Only Once with Micromatic VTD/8 Gateway

ID: Q127925

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

If you use the Micromatic VTD/8 gateway with Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.0 Helpdesk Remote Control, you may not be able to take remote control of a Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 client computer more than once.

CAUSE

Network Monitor reveals that the Micromatic VTD/8 gateway forwards name requests back onto the NetBEUI protocol, which results in a name conflict. Echoing name request packets causes SMS Server Viewer not to work.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, disable the NetBEUI protocol on the gateway and use TCP/IP-32 as the default protocol. For more information, contact Micromatic.
