Error 0122 Starting Peer Web Server

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

After installing Microsoft Peer Web Server in Windows NT Workstation 4.0, neither the World Wide Web Publishing service nor the FTP Server Service may start automatically. In addition, if you attempt to start these services manually, the following message may be displayed:

Service manager on <COMPUTER NAME> could not start <SERVICE NAME>

Error 0122 the data passed to the system call is too small

CAUSE

This error is caused by having TCP/IP protocols from multiple manufacturers installed at the same time. Microsoft Peer Web Server functions only over the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol.

RESOLUTION

The following procedure should allow you to continue to use your own client for access to your local network.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system- wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

Use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to change the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\
Parameters\Transports

Move TCP/IP to the top of the transports list. After you make this change, Restart the computer.
