Err Msg in WFWG 3.11 w/LANtastic 5.x: RFC:SFT Not in SFT List

ID: Q115884

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

You receive the following message in Windows for Workgroups 3.11 when Artisoft LANtastic version 5.x is installed:

RFC:SFT not in SFT list

This error may result in the entire LANtastic network losing functionality.

CAUSE

This message is caused by a problem in LANtastic versions 5.x that occurs when loading VSHARE.386 in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, remove VSHARE.386 from the SYSTEM.INI file and load SHARE.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT as follows:

Comment out VSHARE.386 in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file by inserting a semicolon at the beginning of that line. For example:
```
      ;DEVICE=VSHARE.386) 
```

Load SHARE.EXE from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, which is usually located in the DOS directory. For example:
```
      C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /L:500 /F:5100 
```

NOTE: Unloading VSHARE.386 can cause various problems with applications that use OLE 2.0 (for example, applications included with Microsoft Office version 4.0).
