Setup: Wrong Info in "Select Client/Server Protocols" Dialog

• Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11
  on the following platforms: NT

SYMPTOMS

You can only use one client/server protocol to communicate with a SNA Server from a Windows NT SNA Server Client and the Client Setup erroneously displays the following "Select Client/Server Protocols" dialog if multiple protocols are detected on the Windows NT system:

Several client/server protocols have been detected on this computer.

SNA Client can work with any or all of them. Please choose the ones you want by clicking on their check boxes.

Microsoft Networking (Named Pipes)
Novell Netware
Banyan Vines
TCP/IP

Select Client/Server Protocol

If Setup detects more than one client/server protocol on your computer, you must specify the client/server protocol(s) to use with SNA Server.

To select client/server protocols

1. In the Select Client/Server Protocols dialog box, select one, several, or all of the check boxes:

   Microsoft Networking (Named Pipes)
   Novell NetWare (IPX/SPX) (see Note on SPXII Protocol)
   Banyan VINES (see Note on Banyan Vines )
   TCP/IP (see Note on TCP/IP Protocol)
   (SNA servers only:) AppleTalk

   If the computer you are installing on does not include one or several of the client/server protocols, the corresponding check boxes are unavailable.



2. Choose Continue.
   
   You will be prompted to supply the name of the network domain or SNA Server Subdomain.

CAUSE

The Windows NT SNA Server Client Setup program was calling the same "Client/Server Protocol" information called during SNA Server Setup.

RESOLUTION

The setup scripts for the Windows NT SNA Server Client have been modified so that the "Client/Server Protocol" dialogs return information specific to the Windows NT SNA Server Client.

Microsoft has updated the following files to correct this problem:

<snaroot>\SETUP.INF
<snaroot>\SNAFILES.INF

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server for Windows NT. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server for Windows NT, 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
