Win3x Client Takes 20 Seconds to Display Logon Dialog Box

ID: Q166268

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SNA Server, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

If the Win3x client was installed from the SNA Server 3.0 compact disc, it will take 20 seconds to display the logon dialog box.

CAUSE

The SNA Server 3.0 Win3.x setup places two backslash characters ("\\") in front of the remote entry in the Win.ini file if you follow the directions literally by pressing CTRL+ENTER after you type each server name. For instance, if Server01 and Server02 were entered by the user during setup, the following entry would be listed in the Win.ini file:


   [WNAP]
   Remote=\\Server01 \\Server02

It should be:


   [WNAP]
   Remote=Server01 Server02

RESOLUTION

A fix is available to correct this problem. The fix ignores the leading backslash characters ("\\").

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 3.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
