SYMPTOMS
After you install and configure an SNA Server 802.2 DLC link service using
an IBM LANStreamer PCI Token Ring adapter, the 802.2 connection appears as
Ethernet in the SNA Server Admin program. However, the LANStreamer adapter
functions properly in the token ring network.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the MediaType registry entry for the IBM LANStreamer
PCI Token Ring adapter is set to 1 (Ethernet) during the installation of
the SNA Server 802.2 DLC link service. This value is used by SNA Server
Setup and is passed to the SNA Admin program.
RESOLUTION
