After WFWG Install, Can't Access NetWare Servers Using IPXODI

• Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

After you install Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, you cannot access your Novell NetWare servers using IPXODI.

CAUSE

If you are not using a NET.CFG file with the Novell IPXODI stack, Windows for Workgroups Setup creates one and places it in the Windows directory. In order for the contents of the NET.CFG file to be read, it must be located in the same subdirectory as LSL.COM.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, move the NET.CFG file to the same directory in which the Novell LSL.COM file resides and then update your PROTOCOL.INI file. To update PROTOCOL.INI:

• Use a text editor to change the PATH= line in the [net.cfg] section of your PROTOCOL.INI file, which is located in your Windows directory, to specify the new location of NET.CFG. For example, if NET.CFG and LSL.COM are located in the C:\NOVELL directory, the [net.cfg] section should read as follows:

  
        [net.cfg]
        PATH=C:\NOVELL\NET.CFG
