Cannot Redirect LPT4 or Greater with Basic Redirector, Novell

ID: Q90391

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

If the NetBEUI and Novell NetWare protocols are loaded, and you run the basic redirector, you get the following error if you attempt to redirect any port greater than LPT3.

Error 11: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

When the full redirector is running, you can redirect up to LPT9.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem on a 386 machine or above, unload the basic redirector and load the full redirector.

There is no workaround to this problem on a 286 machine. You must use LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3. The NetWare product included here is manufactured by Novell, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
