The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

To make a Token Ring Network Installation Startup Disk using NWLink IPX Compatible Protocol with the Network Client Administrator utility, the frame type has to be manually changed in the PROTOCOL.INI (or NET.CFG) file because the network startup disk uses Ethernet 802.2 as the default frame type. In a Token Ring environment, this may cause an error when you try to use the NET USE or NET VIEW commands:

Error 53: Network not found

Following are the required Token Ring frame type syntaxes for workstations that need PROTOCOL.INI modifications:

Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS and Windows:


   FRAME=TOKENRING

Windows for Workgroups 3.11:


    FRAME=TOKEN-RING

NetWare (modify NET.CFG):


   FRAME=TOKEN-RING and TOKEN-RING_SNAP

Other frame types include the following:


   ETHERNET_802.2  (Default)
   ETHERNET_802.3
   ETHERNET_II
   ETHERNET_SNAP
