SYMPTOMS
On your computer running Windows NT, when you try to run a NetWare program
using Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) or Gateway Services for NetWare
(GSNW), your NetWare program fails and displays an error message.
The following are examples of common NetWare programs that fail to run and
the resulting error messages that appear:
SLIST.EXE:
Error reading server names (-30719)
VOLINFO.EXE, SYSCON.EXE, PCONSOLE.EXE, SESSION.EXE:
You are not logged into file server. You must be logged in to use
this utility.
FCONSOLE.EXE:
File server is running advanced NetWare version 0.00.0. This utility
requires advanced NetWare version 2.10.0 or greater
CHKVOL.EXE:
The specific volume not found
MAP or CAPTURE:
Warning: Unexpected error 4, error code 8801
-or-
Error: unexpected error 0x89ff during <API call name>
CAUSE
Your network redirector is not loaded.
RESOLUTION
To solve this problem, load the network redirector before you run the
Netware program.
The redirector is automatically installed when you install GSNW or CSNW,
but is not automatically loaded into memory. To load the network
redirector
automatically through your AUTOEXEC.NT file, which is in the
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory, follow the example of this AUTOEXEC.NT
file:
@echo off
break on
REM AUTOEXEC.BAT is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment.
REM AUTOEXEC.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a
REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF.
REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
REM Install network redirector
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx
