SYMPTOMS
On a Windows for Workgroups (WfWG) version 3.11 computer with TCP/IP-32, if
you load NetBEUI into real mode (conventional memory) prior to starting
Windows you may encounter problems such as network errors, inability to
make network connections, other machines not able to connect to your
shares, or your computer may stop responding (hang) when attempting to make
a network connection.
NOTE: To load NetBEUI into conventional memory, run the following command
at the command prompt prior to starting Windows, or add it to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
Net Start NetBEUI
WORKAROUND
Remove TCP/IP, or do not load NetBEUI in real mode.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups, and
TCP/IP-32. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
