SYMPTOMS

When using Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.2 on Windows 3.1 with Netware Connectivity installed, the option to connect new drives in LAN Manager is not available: the CONNECT button is dimmed--you cannot select it.

CAUSE

LAN Manager drivers needed for connectivity are not available in the same directory to system software.

WORKAROUND

Install Windows 3.1 and LAN Manager, then add Netware connectivity. Copy LANMAN21.DRV and LANMAN.DRV to the c:\windows\system directory. Winpopup requires LANMAN21.DRV and DUALNET.DRV requires LANMAN.DRV.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LAN Manager version 2.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
