ID: Q115547

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft LAN Manager, version 2.2b

SYMPTOMS

When you start the hub node service on OS/2 and LAN Manager 2.2b, the error log may record

3299 NETBIOS.OS2 driver does not appear to be loaded or, you may need to reserve some resources for NETBIOS.OS2
perhaps accompanied by:
3057 an internal consistency error has occurred
You also get the error:

on every MS-DOS machine that depends on the TCP/IP node service.


CAUSE

NetBIOS support is not being loaded during the boot.


RESOLUTION

  1. In the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS find the line: 
    
   device=<lanroot>\netprog\netbios.os2


  2. Add /n to the end of it, so that it reads: 
    
   device=<lanroot>\netprog\netbios.os2 /n


  3. Reboot.


The /n allows the system to load NetBIOS 3.0 support during boot.
