SYMPTOMS
Using NET START NETBEUI with Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11 causes
the computer to stop responding (hang) while loading Windows for Workgroups
or causes the following error message when Windows loads:
Error 58: The network has responded incorrectly.
CAUSE
This error message occurs if you run NET START NETBEUI before loading
Windows for Workgroups with the "IPX/SPX Compatible Transport with NetBIOS"
and NetBEUI protocols installed.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:
- Use NET START without the NetBEUI parameter.
-or-
- Remove the "IPX/SPX Compatible Transport with NetBIOS" protocol.
-or-
- Type net stop netbeui before loading
Windows for Workgroups. (This unloads the real-mode NetBEUI protocol.)
MORE INFORMATION
Some NetBIOS applications require the use of NET START NETBEUI to access
NetBIOS under Windows for Workgroups 3.1. Most NetBIOS applications do not
require this under Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
For example, Delrina WinFax Pro 3.0 for Networks requires NET START NETBEUI
in order for its real-mode drivers to load. Since NET START NETBEUI
disables file and print sharing in Windows for Workgroups, and can cause
the above error message, run NET START NETBEUI, load the WinFax real-mode
drivers, and then run NET STOP NETBEUI before loading Windows for
Workgroups.
